But other than that , great article 🙂

Good suggestions, Jon. I’ll investigate further the Office365 option. Sounds like a no brainer.

EDIT: Unfortunately it lacks client side encryption, and Arq doesn’t support OneDrive.

But tweaking those settings to no longer apply a governor makes a big difference. Besides, who cares about speed when you’re getting UNLIMITED backups for $6/mo or less? Keep your two local backups and toss CrashPlan in the mix and speed is no longer a concern. Incremental backups when you add new files are pretty quick.

Another option: 1 TB OneDrive storage is included with every Office 365 subscription, cheapest at $7/mo also gives you all the benefits of O365 at the same time.
