"I've been waiting for something I can use to backup my workstation and laptops to a server at home as well as a server I have at $work (ISP)."

borg[1] has been referred to as "the holy grail of backups"[2] and is supported at rsync.net.[3]

The end result is encrypted, zero knowledge remote backups on a ZFS filesystem that you can SSH to.

I think everyone here knows all about rsync.net, but here are some examples:[4]

  ssh [email protected] sha256 some/file
  pg_dump -U postgres db | ssh [email protected] "dd of=db_dump"
  ssh [email protected] du -Ahd2 some/directory
