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.

My cloud is at my parent's house in a different continent.

48tb of my own data and hardware.

As do I. I truly believe that's a requirement in order to be able to say you have backups

a different continent

Impressive. I thought I had it good with my backup's two countries away (700Km, bird flight). But I do realize it could still be you live just a few meters apart ;)
