A Natural Evolution
In 2012 rsync.net transitioned to ZFS as the base of its cloud storage platform.[1]
In addition to enhanced data safety and resiliency[2], ZFS allowed us to offer snapshots of user accounts on any schedule.
The obvious next step was to offer ZFS send and receive, over SSH, to our platform.[3]
We are the only cloud storage provider offering native zfs send and receive.
[1] We run ZFS on FreeBSD
[2] Our conservatively sized raidz3 arrays have a 99.9999% resiliency.
[3] Arstechnica reviewed our zfs send/recv functions: https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2015/12/rsync-net-zfs-replication-to-the-cloud-is-finally-here-and-its-fast/
A Special "zfs send Capable" Account is Required
Every account at rsync.net runs on our ZFS platform - but zfs send/recv requires special settings.
There is no difference in price - cost per Gigabyte/Month is the same - but there is a 5TB minimum.
You will control your own zpool and manage your own snapshots.
You will receive technical support from UNIX engineers for your use of zfs send and receive.

What Makes rsync.net Special
We are the only cloud storage provider that gives customers a UNIX filesystem to do what they want with.
We are NOT reselling another cloud - we built and maintain our own infrastructure and have complete control over our platform.
Our ZFS platform provides resiliency and allows clients to configure point-in-time snapshots that are immutable.
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.
