I’ve been backing up to a dedicated hard disk within the same server for all my backups in case my disks fail. And as I run more and more services, the concern of disks failures grow bigger.

I’m looking for a cheapish off-site backup solution and I’m just curious what everyone does for their 3-2-1 backup solutions.

    I run proxmox backup server on a pi4, and it uses rsync to sync everything to Backblaze R2, costs me pennies per month, Backblaze only charges me every few months :D

    Edit: In a funny bit of synchronicity, 8 minutes after writing this comment I got a notification from my bank:

      Can I ask you how backblaze quota works? I plan to do an rsync once per night, how does it costs? And If I want to explore the storage or download the database?

        I don’t understand, I don’t know more than the prices they list which are pretty clear?

        Just make sure you use the rsync flag made for stuff like R2, otherwise the API calls become expensive.
