Right now, I have around 20TB of data in redundant ZFS mirrors, so I am somewhat protected against any single drive failing. Critical data is backed up at various cloud providers, but that’s only a few gigs of all my data.
Looking at S3 pricing, It seems rather unfeasible to back up my data there or on the other “big” cloud providers, as it would cost me around $180 with AWS or half of that with backblaze.
How and where do you guys back up your data?
You could look into AWS Glacier or S3 Deep Storage tier. If you have 20TB stored that’s about $20/month(YMMV) which isn’t wonderful but that’s a lot of data so it’s understandable.
Being a cheapskate, if I can get something back or it’s not crucial it’s on a RAID array with snapshots, everything else is either encrypted Duplicati backups to Google Drive (Windows) or encrypted borg backups to Borgbase(Linux)
Borgbase is very reasonably priced and if you have a large storage space in GDrive due to having one of their other services it’s a good use of it.
Hadn’t heard of borgbase before, I’ll check it out. Thanks.
