Have a somewhat slow connection and think I'd rather have a service perform this for me if I need to do full backups.
Was interested in incremental backups where only modified parts are backed up so you can piece everything back together if needed but I'm not sure if there are any easy preconfigured hands-off systems to handle this. With small changes day-to-day it shouldn't be a big change from the original backup so I could probably handle the download myself but some have suggested this is a risky idea for backups where you could end up basing your reconstruction off a piece of shit.

depends on what you're backing up
most reliable option is probably cron/ssh/rsync, but if you're using windows you might be better off using dedicated backup software like acronis or something. depending on the size of your files you might be fine using dropbox, mega or similar, if you need more space something like AWS S3 is probably better in terms of cost, speed and flexibility

Just go ahead and give the CIA all your info. I'll keep backing up locally.

I use borg and rsync.net for storage. Nice thing about borg is you don’t have to put any trust in a storage provider beyond them just not losing your backups, since all they ever hold is encrypted incremental snapshots.
