The interface is nice but it is excruciatingly slow at restores. I had to switch to borg, which has an extremely similar feature set but performs much better (and you can bring your own hardware).

Seriously. If you are considering Tarsnap, or use it but have never tested a restore, don't hand wave this comment away.
You might be tempted to think: it's a popular service, it can't be that bad.
But, it really can be, and if you've not tried it yourself, you'll only find out when you need it. Which could be way too late.
