My goal is to to fully ditch Google Photos for Immich. I have about ~3TB of photos and videos. Looking for a super simple way of backing up the library to cloud storage in case of a drive failure without spending a ton.

Ideally, this will require nothing on my part besides copying files into a given folder. And ideally the storage will be encrypted and have basic privacy assurances.

Also if it matters my home server is running Debian. But I’d prefer something that runs in docker so I can more easily check on it remotely.

    I use hetzner storagebox for similar needs. It’s not encrypted, so you need to manage that by yourself, but they support a ton of protocols and pricing is decent, even if they’re increasing the price shortly.

      What does the setup look like on your end? Is there like, an app? Also how would I look into managing encryption by myself?

        I use Borg Backup to backup specific folders of my hard disk to my hetzner storage box.

        The software is triggered by corn/systemd to start a backup.

          Does borg need an entire python venv?

          I was looking at “modern” backup tools while back and when I saw borg was python I decided not to bother.

          Instead I focused on restic for a little while and then rsync was already there and I already knew the commands so… Rsync. Though I still have restic on my list.

        I’m using proxmox backup server to make copies of full virtual machines, it takes care of encryption and verification of the data, so it’s not exactly the same than your scenario. Borg Backup is commonly recommended, but restic and dejadup are worth checking out too.
