What is your cloud backup solution? (sh.itjust.works)

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.

A Hetzner Storage Box, 1TB for 3,89€

Another recommendation for storagebox from here. Cheapest option I've found and they are pretty reliable. I use proxmox backup server to sync my VMs there (encrypted of course).

I've gone up one size. 5TB for 10,90€.

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

Same, but I use Borg backup. Pretty sure hetzner storage supports Borg server to make things a touch quicker too. No issues yet!

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?

[–] PetteriPano@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

No, well I do the first mount over sshfs, then wrap EncFS because I don't trust hetzner with my unencrypted data. rsync just makes sure I only copy whatever files changed since last run to keep traffic at a minimum.

Same. It's enough for me (I don't really have that much data) and just use rclone to back it up.
