ReadyNAS Vault : great but overpriced!

fish -

Thanks for taking interest in user opinion. I agree with you when it comes to the providers you mentioned. Even the venerable Mozy and Carbonite suffer from limitations/restrictions in service use.

I would really like to be able to perform cloud backup of my Readynas' directly from the unit, but choose to use Jungledisk through a desktop instead. I've had such good luck with Jungledisk for the last 3+ years that its hard to consider others. That said, I would possibly consider the Vault service if its pricing model was competitive with Jungledisk. It would also need features such as:

1) AES128/256 encryption with no one else holding the keys but me
2) ability to select directories within a share for selective backup
3) include/exclude lists for file types (such as .tmp or ~*.*)
4) Delta file copy (Comcast isn't the only one with bandwidth caps)
5) Compression of backup data to reduce storage costs
6) previous version backup

7) Deduplication would also be nice, but thats not as critical.
