What is your cloud backup solution?

I’m interested to hear what do people use as their cloud backup and the cost of it. I currently use idrive e2 storage at 5$ per TB a month. Trying to see if there is any better deal anywhere and just curious on everyone’s thoughts.

I don’t use it but I would recommend Kopia due to its content-defined chunking, deduplication, etc. I’m writing a fork of it that allows any Rclone adapter to work as the frontend or backend but it won’t be released for quite some time.

Otherwise I sync most my files to Backblaze by hand from time to time using Rclone and client-side encryption.

I use Backblaze B2. About 512GB for about $3-4 a month. Its my secondary backup so hopefully will never have to use it 🤣

So true, it’s kinda my only offsite backup because my other copy is only the mirrored drives. Backup is so expensive 😭

I donated a server to my brother across the country to use as his media server, it also doubles as my own offsite backup. And vice versa for his, although he’s not really tech savvy enough to care.

I want to do that with my uncle, I got him into self-hosting but I just need to save up so money so I can give him either a nas or a small server. It’s always the drives that skyrocket the price.

Wait what? Free? How much data are you backing up?

I’m also interested. I use wasabi, for a good number of terabytes. Reducing the costs at all would be great.
