> But really if you want to make it dead simple you can't go wrong with tarsnap
I'd call this everything but dead simple. Maybe for the average software engineer it's okay but I don't I could tell anyone in my family to set this up themselves and then monitor that it's doing it's thing correctly.
TimeMachine is two clicks in self explaining steps (Plug in empty external drive, OS asks if you want to use it as a backup source, you click "yes" and it starts doing backups every hour). That's probably what GP meant with "Make it super easy." not this: https://www.tarsnap.com/gettingstarted.html

It's a cool service but it's not "dead simple".
