• Rsync.net – Cloud Storage for Offsite Backups / Hacker News — A few quick notes about our experience with Rsync.net 1. It is more expensive than S3/Glacier, but they offer "free" read-only snapshots, which can be very useful if your backup software or script does not perform its own snapshots. 2. It can be difficult to determine how much space is taken by the peculiarities of ZFS vs. your own data. 3. Although they offer subaccounts, it is not possible to know the disk usage of a particular subaccount. 4. If you have transfer speed issues, you can contact

• Simple SFTP Hosting / Hacker News — Wow, the prices are down to 2cents/GB, cheaper than standard AWS + without the fees. 1 Back in 2015, it was 20cents per GB. 2 Besides ZFS with snapshots, one of their benefits vs "dumb" cloud storage is you can run a server side component, e.g. borg which requires both a client and server. They even have slightly reduced pricing (which isn't that big a deal anymore, it was 3 cents vs 8-20 back in 2016 3 ) if you only need borg and don't need the configuration support. 4

External links were grounded in one live web search. Search snippets are leads, not independently scraped page content; rejected links remain available in Review evidence.

Not found on the collected pages: uptime and status page. This only means Scout did not find it on the pages it read; it says nothing about the company itself.

Not found in the collected public sources: public roadmap, changelog or release notes, status page, separate help center or knowledge base.

Not measurable: wayback: rate limited by archive.org, ladder stopped after 1 probe(s). A gap here means the lookup was unavailable, not that the finding is negative.

Crawled pages

This is a bounded Scout crawl. Core Web Vitals and Lighthouse scores are not claimed unless a dedicated performance audit is connected.

Modeled acquisition channels

First-party connections

No first-party Search Console or Analytics numbers are shown until the site owner authorizes the corresponding Google account. Scout traffic model values above are modeled estimates, not private analytics totals.

The collected pages do not mention any competitors by name. Evidence gaps include lack of specific uptime statistics, detailed security certifications beyond claims, and absence of customer counts or detailed case studies. Open questions remain about the exact scope of the reseller program's margins and the full list of supported integrations.
