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.

        Currently a total of 1.37 GB, spread over multiple backups. That’s two host, running among other things home assistant, paperless and *arr stack (though media is not backed up).

        Cloudflare has a free tier of 10 GB. I believe BorgBase is the same.

          There’s people that have 200TB Nas’, and people talking about the 10€/month/5TB Hetzner tier. And then there’s op backing up 1GB across 5 cloud provider’s free tiers.

          What you got in there? Your light novel library?

            All my documents, music, databases, env vars + configuration from both hosts. I specifically don’t back up movies and tv shows because they’re restorable by downloading again.

            I don’t have any photos in my stack anywhere. That might be why it’s so low.

              Heh, to bad. I’ve got terabytes so I’m definitely owing for that.

              Yeah, it’s actually a great setup. I’d hope to achieve the same one day by moving all my media to torrents/making torrents, but my personal data alone is still hundreds of GB. I have no idea how you did it.
              My music is 3 of GB, and that is just my core playlists often in bad (youtube) bitrate. 13GB for music videos.
              My jellyfin db itself is like a GB.
              I still have to make lower-res versions of my scanned documents, but I doubt that’ll ever leave the GB, or even tens of GBs (yay bureaucracy).

                I probably started early with it. Decided to have it set up from day one. My data might still grow to unfathomable sizes.

                What are you using for backup?

                  A second nas. Both my nas’ have raid. They also have revisions, and one is off except for when running backups.
                  A lot of stuff has a third copy on the server I run stuff on.
                  I may some day take your approach and make the backup nas smaller, then exclude media I have in torrents. Though restoring 10 TB over i2p may take a literal year in case of failure.

                  PS: the backup raid is btrfs raid :)

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