What is This ?
rsync.net is a cloud storage provider - like Amazon S3 or Google Cloud Storage.
Unlike other providers, rsync.net can import/export from any other cloud provider.
You can move data into, out of, and through an rsync.net account using standard tools.
There is no vendor lock-in.
An rsync.net account is a safe deposit box for all of your cloud assets.
Why Do You Need This ?
Your cloud assets, and the backups of those cloud assets, should not be with the same provider.
You can define a global retention schedule across all of your cloud assets in one place, with one tool.
You can easily migrate data from one cloud to another with standard tools and no vendor lock-in.
You are protected from ransomware and rogue employees as rsync.net snapshots are immutable / read-only.
What Does This Cost ?
rsync.net costs less than Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, or MS Azure
Depending on quantity, the rsync.net price-per-gigabyte-per-month can be as low as 6/10 of one cent ($0.006).
rsync.net does not charge for access, usage, transfer or bandwidth usage - in or out.
There are no license fees. There are no contracts. You may cancel at any time.
Technical Details
An rsync.net account is an empty ZFS filesystem that you can do whatever you'd like with.
You may access the account with any tool that runs over SSH or SFTP ... like rclone.
You have full control over your authorized_keys file to restrict IP and command access.
You may configure custom alerts to generate email, SMS, or Pushover warnings - or call a webhook. Or all of the above.
You may set your account to be immutable (read-only) and accessible only by SSH key (disabled passwords).

We have a world class, IPV6-capable network with locations in three US cities as well as Zurich and Hong Kong.
You will receive unlimited, free technical support, over phone and email, for any use you make of our product.
We offer customizable monitoring and alerts, free of charge, using email, SMS, Pushover and webhook calls.
We've been doing this since 2001.
