I’m looking for a cloud backup service that allows me to upload daily backups from my macbook and home Linux server automatically without having to worry about storage limits.
Of course I understand ‘unlimited’ is never actually unlimited, in my use case I guess I’ll typically stay below 10-15 TB for many years to come.
After comparing many alternatives it boils down to OpenDrive or Jottacloud for me. I have tried free trial accounts with both, and they both seem to work OK for my needs. Also the cost is about the same. I don’t care about encryption, all my uploaded archives are encrypted client side anyway.
Also I don’t need fancy client or backup software, I upload from CLI only (using rclone).
Any user experiences that would recommend either of these, or favor one over the other?
Any insight is much appreciated!
There’s no more unlimited. Jottacloud openly throttle you (probably you could do 10-20TBs eventually given enough time, but not considerably more) and I think OpenDrive finds reasons to kick you out around 10TBs?
Of course I realize that neither are really unlimited. But like I said 10-15 TB should be more than enough. I actually don’t expect to cross the 10 TB mark any time soon (definitely not within the next few years).
I noticed about Jottacloud’s speed throttling, that actually doesn’t seem too problematic for my case. As for OpenDrive, do they actually kick people out that have like 10 TB stored? (which I won’t have initially, but may get there eventually).
Contact the providers with your requirements directly and see what they can offer
I believe that Uranium Backup can handle this; just install and use it.
Thanks to everyone for their comments. I actually ended up with Pcloud: I took today’s Black Friday offer of 10 TB storage for a one time lifetime fee of €890. Unless they go out of business, I expect this will suffice for my needs indefinitely.
