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 see a lot of people using restic here. However, restic has no support for object locking. Depending on the backup source, an attack on the storage location itself is probable (e. g. via ransomware).

    I think rustic is currently discussing implementing support for object locking, and Kopia has it already.

    None of the solutions have had an official audit yet, and at least Kopia defaults to AES-GCM, where I’d really love for an auditor to tell me there are no issues with nonce reuse, but switching to ChaChaPoly-1305 is an option.

    If that matters depends a lot on the individual, just something to keep in mind.

      I’ve gone up of size. 5TB for 10,90€.

      Weekly cronjob that mounts the storage box, an EncFS volume and rsyncs my files.

        That’s a nice setup. I actually let restic do my backups. Is there an advantage of using EncFS/rsync? Like not having to use SSH?

    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.

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

    Amazon Glacier at like US$23/month for around 10 TB. It’s going to be a nightmare expense to pull it all back out though, especially after building a new NAS at these current prices.

    Borgbase - 1TB for $90 a year but they have smaller options. I then use Restic as my previous Borg setup kept stopping and couldn’t figure out why

    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 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.
