>there are many better alternatives if cloud storage prices aren't an issue for you.

What are a couple that you particularly recommend for this? I've been using B2 after abandoning the disaster that SpiderOak has become (was a long term user and stuck out of habit), and not exceptionally happy with B2 either.



Restic is my personal favorite for straightforward file backups. It's simple and well-designed, integrates with rclone meaning it supports any file transfer protocol or cloud storage service you can imagine, and has a decently large community surrounding it.

Thanks for getting back with an answer. Still curious thogh, to what cloud system or platform do you back up? Restic is a solution for organizing and managing the backup process, but not for the remote storage itself.


Literally any remote storage you can imagine works. I've personally used Hetzner storage boxes and they work fine, and their price is very good (though still not as good as Backblaze Backup if you have double digit TBs like me)


I'll give Hetzner a shot. Been looking into it and as for Backblaze, I simply can't stand their exclusion-based selection system for files to back up.
