Unfortunately, I don't have the luxury of a NAS.  (I *was*  
looking into such a thing some years ago, but life happened).

I just want to send some primary important files offsite as a  
backup - pretty much everything under /MyDocuments for  
starters.  That alone is over 60GB and I have only around 15GB  
space left.   AND.. I want it encrypted so that the hosting  
company can't see explicit filenames nor pry into documents  
either.

My upload speed will be excruciatingly slow, 1Mbps.  But after  
the initial upload of salient files, only new or changed files  
will be necessary.

Wouldn't know.  For now, restic looks like the best (and  
surpisingly the simplest) candidate to try.
