▲ 74 ▼ What is your cloud backup solution? (sh.itjust.works) submitted 1 day ago by CopperKit@sh.itjust.works to c/selfhosted@lemmy.world 55 comments fedilink hide all child comments I'm interested to hear what do people use as their cloud backup and the cost of it. I currently use idrive e2 storage at 5$ per TB a month. Trying to see if there is any better deal anywhere and just curious on everyone's thoughts.
[–] cyberpunk007@lemmy.ca 7 points 23 hours ago (2 children) Wait what? Free? How much data are you backing up? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] prelude_@lemmy.world 3 points 18 hours ago (1 child) Currently a total of 1.37 GB, spread over multiple backups. That’s two host, running among other things home assistant, paperless and *arr stack (though media is not backed up). Cloudflare has a free tier of 10 GB. I believe BorgBase is the same. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Redjard@reddthat.com 12 points 18 hours ago (1 child) There's people that have 200TB Nas', and people talking about the 10€/month/5TB Hetzner tier. And then there's op backing up 1GB across 5 cloud provider's free tiers. What you got in there? Your light novel library? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] prelude_@lemmy.world 2 points 18 hours ago (2 children) All my documents, music, databases, env vars + configuration from both hosts. I specifically don’t back up movies and tv shows because they’re restorable by downloading again. I don’t have any photos in my stack anywhere. That might be why it’s so low. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] cyberpunk007@lemmy.ca 1 point 15 hours ago Heh, to bad. I've got terabytes so I'm definitely owing for that. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Redjard@reddthat.com 1 point 17 hours ago (1 child) Yeah, it's actually a great setup. I'd hope to achieve the same one day by moving all my media to torrents/making torrents, but my personal data alone is still hundreds of GB. I have no idea how you did it. My music is 3 of GB, and that is just my core playlists often in bad (youtube) bitrate. 13GB for music videos. My jellyfin db itself is like a GB. I still have to make lower-res versions of my scanned documents, but I doubt that'll ever leave the GB, or even tens of GBs (yay bureaucracy). permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] prelude_@lemmy.world 1 point 17 hours ago (1 child) I probably started early with it. Decided to have it set up from day one. My data might still grow to unfathomable sizes. What are you using for backup? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Redjard@reddthat.com 1 point 16 hours ago A second nas. Both my nas' have raid. They also have revisions, and one is off except for when running backups. A lot of stuff has a third copy on the server I run stuff on. I may some day take your approach and make the backup nas smaller, then exclude media I have in torrents. Though restoring 10 TB over i2p may take a literal year in case of failure. PS: the backup raid is btrfs raid :) permalink fedilink source parent [–] tyler@programming.dev 4 points 23 hours ago (1 child) I’m also interested. I use wasabi, for a good number of terabytes. Reducing the costs at all would be great. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] Mubelotix@jlai.lu 1 point 7 hours ago [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent
