I love the addition of SFTP, and I hope to buy the update soon.

Can anyone recommend a SFTP backup provider?

My Arq backups are designed to be worst-case. I have other, local backup options in case of failure. I was using Glacier, but I ran into Arq3 sync problems and I need to re-upload all my data. Glacier is very slow from where I live. I assume SFTP will be a bit faster.




I'm not a customer anymore, but was very happy when I was. rsync.net is the perfect service for this.


arq (or any SFTP based client, including sshfs) will work perfectly with rsync.net.

The new-user-HN-discount is 10c per GB, per month, and there are no other (traffic/bandwidth/usage) costs. Our platform is ZFS and there are 7 daily snapshots for free.

We would be happy to serve you, as we've been serving thousands of users since 2001.


If you don't need a turnkey solution I'd just go with a cheap server provider like OVH/Online.net/Hetzner and set up an SFTP server there.


OVH has Swift/OpenStack storage service (hubiC) that makes Glacier look insanely expensive if we're talking about at least about 1TiB+ of backups. Can't tell anything about their reliability, though.


Doesn't seem like hubiC exposes a truly S3-compatible API, which is sad given that it seems to be based on OpenStack Swift.


backupsy.com provides low-power VPSes with 250GB of storage. Perfect for this. I may get a second one just for Arq...
