rsync.net offers ZFS send/receive
and I’ve been using it for 5 years now, it’s pretty great. It’s not super expensive per GB, but they ask a minimum of 5TB if you want native ZFS support, which is $60/month.
You get access to a full FreeBSD VM which is very nice, because you can do things like metrics or a “pull” setup that pulls backups from your machines, so you’re more resilient against stuff like ransomware.
Yes it’s not the cheapest option, but I think it’s the only one if you need zfs send/receive. But if you don’t need it you can get less than 5TB for cheaper, or just go elsewhere.
Backblaze is definitely losing money on you every year, so good luck finding an alternative. I pay $100+/month just in power and network costs to have my own hardware colocated in a real data center, and that’s saving me money compared to renting 200TB anywhere else.
Uhg. Where do I go now? I really just ultimately want encrypted zfs replication…
Storj is very similar in cost and features.
Just price out S3 compatible storage and use backup software that can encrypt. Then it doesn’t matter who holds it.
Wasabi is reputable and has fair pricing. iDrive is well priced.
I’m still sending to B2 until the price actually changes for me.
I personally use Duplicati (and yes I’ve tested restores).

Sounds good but $60 per month is a lot of money.

This would increase my yearly cost from $99 to over 10k
You have over 70TB of data you want to backup? That’s a lot. How are you making backups of that for only 99/year?
I have a 190TB NAS, and Backblaze is $99 for unlimited. At least it was until now

Oh, I definitely know I’m not a profitable customer for them. My home electricity bill for my NAS is already a multiple of my Backblaze subscription
