But I would still prefer not to be hit by any Meteors.
I have a fondness for Tarsnap and Arq, but I find Data Backup 3 from ProsoftEngineering to be one of the best for doing local backups. At the end of a day, I just toss in a 64 GB USB Key (with FileVault Encryption), and no matter how much data I've created, it usually is less than 10 seconds for a full versioned backup. SuperDuper Clone about once every couple weeks.
I originally quit BackBlaze because it fired up my CPU to 100%, no matter how much time I spent trying to tweak it, but now I'm running into the same issue with CrashPlan which, after a couple years, has started constantly scanning my filesystem, forcing me to sudo launchctl unload /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.crashplan.engine.plist, and then remembering to sudo launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.crashplan.engine.plist before I go to bed to let it run overnight.
What is it about Crashplan not letting you just shutdown everything from within the application.
