Do you think there is a market for a bitcoin backup service?

I use to use Wuala  for this, but they seem to have now stopped accepting bitcoins.  So there may be a void again to fill.

Would you personally be interested?

Maybe....

What sort of features would you want to see in the service? (basic file backup, MS SQL backup, MySQL Backup, Oracle Backup, Ms Exchange backup, HyperV backup, ESx backup... ect)

Mostly I want a mapped cached local drive like what Wuala has, and a decently flexable API.. with that I can then back up
what I want.  I also would prefer to have more then just sync backup,  and have more of a cloud drive with some sharing options.

What concerns would you want to see addressed?

Needs to be a Zero Knowledge system like Wuala.

What sort of price point would you expect to see? (in USD)

Cheaper then Wuala/SpiderOak hopefully.

By the way, one of my favourite things about our software is that the backups are cryptographically secure. Meaning that before your data leaves your computer, it is one-way encrypted using your password. (I can get into the gory algorithm details if you like)

If this is like Wuala/SpiderOak and zero knowledge, then it is a basic requirement for me for backup use.  I only use dropbox/sugarsync for file  sharing due to their lack of it.


Yes,  give the details.
