    Don’t trust backblaze or any service that claims “unlimited”.

    The overwhelming feedback I’ve seen is to “KISS” and use some combination of restic/borg/kopia and rclone to sync data or local backups to cloud storage like https://www.hetzner.com/storage/storage-box/.

    Restic/borg are more for whole system backups, where kopia is more for data (a central kopia server/repository can deduplicate and version data from multiple machines). Rclone is good for syncing local backups to cloud services, or perhaps e2ee synchronisation between machines (though it doesn’t do versioning and multiple machines will cause problems).

    This is the most flexible, long-term, as you can just update the storage backend and transfer or re-upload everything as necessary.
