Tarsnap is a secure online backup service for UNIX-like operating systems, including BSD, Linux, and OS X.
Tarsnap encrypts data, and then stores it on Amazon S3.
The service is designed for efficiency, only uploading and storing data that has directly changed since the last backup.
[5] It was developed and debugged, with input solicited from bug bounty hunters, to try to find vulnerabilities.
