I’m looking into getting an extra backup solution for my laptop, and a backup solution for my NAS/media server. Currently, my laptop backs up to my local NAS, and Proton Drive, while my server has no additional backup.

Is using something like Backblaze B2 actually private and secure, especially if I use the personal encryption key I can set? Or is there another online service that may be better and more private?

    None that I know of. https://rsync.net seems to do a lot less data sharing than Backblaze, though, after having read both their privacy policies.

    It’s an interesting idea. I suppose you’re thinking of something like what Mullvad VPN does with their physical pre-paid cards? You buy a card, that provides you an account number, and you’re good to go?

      Yup, pretty much. I wouldn’t even mind if it was hosted at a place like Backblaze and just resold, like Bitlaunch does for servers.
