Backblaze B2 vs other storage providers to store legally ripped media (lemmy.world)

Hi everyone,

I would like to ask your opinions on reliable cloud storage providers for media. I have a media collection that isn't too big (about 2-3TB) that I'd like to store on the cloud since I'll be moving in the future and don't think I can handle multiple hard drives.

What do you suggest? Any issues I should be looking at? I came across Wasabi too, along with the more expensive Scaleway and Cloudflare R2 offerings. For now Backblaze seems fine in terms of reliability, but has anyone come across complaints from them regarding what is stored on their servers?

Thanks!

I have a personal account. Backing up 3 computers and they’ve never said anything over years

Until you need to use the backup and the process is like shit. And takes weeks to months.

Yeah, has anyone ever actually tried restoring from then? I only remember one disgruntled redditor posting about it, but that's about it.
