Right now, I have around 20TB of data in redundant ZFS mirrors, so I am somewhat protected against any single drive failing. Critical data is backed up at various cloud providers, but that’s only a few gigs of all my data.
Looking at S3 pricing, It seems rather unfeasible to back up my data there or on the other “big” cloud providers, as it would cost me around $180 with AWS or half of that with backblaze.
How and where do you guys back up your data?
have found the best idea is to go out of your way to find a friend that wants to collect the same things you do or is willing to be be your backup if you are theirs. Covering the remote backup rule.
I have a server that automatically backs up to theirs and vice versa. With team work, we can afford to back up so much more stuff.
We are all datahoarders here. I am sure there are people who will be your friend and also need a remote backup. With ZFS encryption and ZFS send, you don’t even need to trust them either.
