Me: Oh, you use a cloud-VM for your backups?
Friend: Yeah, <this one>, I opted for the 100GB disk.
Me: Your backups are less than 100GB....oh you sweet summer child.
This was brought on by me wishing services like backblaze and AWS offered just....disk...accessible through ssh/scp/ftp etc, rather than a funky protocol.
I wanted to use http://rsync.net, but when you get into storing terabytes its actually incredibly pricey.
