Any recommendations?
Do any work with Time Machine, i.e. save to cloud rather than a drive?
I do not want to use Dropbox.
Is this one any good? Very cheap!

Not sure if BackBlaze works with TM but essentially, if shit goes awry, you can download your backup, and pay a small fee to get a hard drive sent to you.
First backup takes a while but after that I don't even notice it running.
I use three external drives for TM backup (Time Capsule, a Laclie porsche drive, and a WD Nas drive)

Thanks - thought this option looked good. But was worried why it was so cheap for unlimited data!

Carbonite, I've got a few computers backed up, probably 10TBs by now, good support

Google Drive?

I settled on CrashPlan.
I did use Carbonite some years back, but they throttled upload speeds and so that didn't work. I couldn't wait a month+ for my initial backup to complete, or have large projects take a couple nights to upload. They also wouldn't backup video files.
However, I think they have since revised both those policies.

^ Throttled?
I guess I wouldn't know, the estimates for upload is always done when the computer is idle, so not sure how you'd really ever know.
Either way, I've never noticed things backingup, it just happens.

Crashplan, one of their plans allows unlimited computers...
- I think most do. Some limit file types, others limit the amount of storage.formed
