    I just went through the whole "need to migrate away from Crashplan" thing.

    It sucked. I spent 4+ hours on researching, testing, and troubleshooting new solutions.

    At first I tried Carbonite, but for some reason it had extremely high CPU usage on my Mac. A Google search in this department reveals that I am not alone in this. I tried various troubleshooting techniques, but nothing worked. So I ditched Carbonite.

    Then I tried Backblaze. It worked pretty seamlessly, and there are no CPU usage problems. I've been on Backblaze for around 2 weeks now with no issues, except for the fact that I have 2TB to upload to the cloud, so it's going to take months to get back to where I was with Crashplan.

    Backblaze is $5/mo I believe. I've still got a couple of days left on their free trial, but I'm going to sign up.
