Backup solution using Amazon Cloud Drive? (Linux)
Does anyone have a suggestion on a good backup solution using ACD on Linux platforms?
Ideally, it should be both encrypted and incremental. I love attic/borgbackup, but it doesn't really work with ACD. Mounting your ACD account with acd_cli FUSE is rather sketchy at this point, and attic/borg refuses to work on a FUSE-mounted ACD drive, I believe because ACD doesn't store modified dates for files.
As of right now, the only native solution I've found is Duplicati, which is an approved ACD software. But it requires Mono and seems very slow and somewhat buggy. I was never a big fan of Duplicity, which Duplicati is a fork of.
Does anyone use ACD for their regular backups and if so, how? I want to backup 4+ TB of data, so incremental is best. Again, Duplicati requires full backups every so often, which is tough.

Switched from hubiC to ACD a few months ago and everything works fine.
I am using duply as a "frontend" for duplicity in combination with acd_cli and this: https://github.com/breunigs/duplicity-acdcli
I ise rclone with amazon cloud drive, but I haven't used it for backups yet.
Some people mentioned a file size limit of 50 GB, does anybody know if that is true? That would suck for backups of VMs.
rclone is cool, but it's not really a great backup solution on its own. It really needs something on top of that for encryption etc.
I suppose almost anything could work in a way, such as a local attic/borg repository which is then rcloned to ACD, but that requires a lot of free space at home to maintain the repository.
I've been using rclone http://rclone.org/ it works fairly well for my usage.
So I tried this using borg:
Backup laptop to a borg respository on USB HDD attached to a Raspberry Pi.
rclone borg repository to ACD
Mount borg repository over acd_cli FUSE mount
This does work pretty well. The only issue is that restoring from the backup seems rather slow, but I think this will work for now.
We're using rclone here :-).
It works great.
You guys don't care about storing unencrypted files on the magical cloud in the sky?
Or how are you using it?
Backing up a Plex server and a couple MacBooks and a iMac.
Anything personal of mine that I don't want in the cloud gets stored in a local backup solution.

Thanks for the mention @srvrpro
The project linked does exactly what you need, encrypts it, and provides an http/ftp(s) interface, but with the use case mentioned, incremental probably won't work with this.
