The only issue I have with them is the removal of deleted files from backup archives after 30 days. Crashplan doesn't have that restriction (and also has a Linux client) although the Java-based engine is pretty clunky, and it eats memory like crazy to do client-side dedupe if you have it enabled. They've been promising native clients for a long time, and a sales guy earlier this year said v4.0 was going to be out Q1 this year, which the engineering team later denied ever saying... So I still don't know when the non-Java version is coming with its improved memory efficiency.

I really wish at some point JVM will stop being synonymous with memory–hog on desktop. It’s certainly possible, e.g. http://hiroshiyamauchi.blogspot.com/2013/06/making-jvm-relea...
