Crashplan does. I run it on my RaspberryPi.

Also, Crashplan never deletes anything while Backblaze, last I checked, requires something like an external HD to be connected once every 30 days. A true backup, not offsite storage, in a sense.

It also has a family plan which is great, allowing 5 machines for U$ 13/month I think.

But the whole Java thing is a nightmare.




Yes, Backblaze's "window" is limited to 30 days. Crashplan may delete files but it's up to you:

"Backblaze will keep versions of a file that changes for up to 30 days. However, Backblaze is not designed as an additional storage system when you run out of space. Backblaze mirrors your drive. If you delete your data, it will be deleted from Backblaze after 30 days." [1]

"If you delete files from your system, they remain backed up and in your backup archive forever, as long as: 1. The files remain selected in your backup file selection. 2. Your 'Remove deleted files' setting is set to never." [2]
