A Hetzner Storage Box, 1TB for 3,89€
I've gone up one size. 5TB for 10,90€.
Weekly cronjob that mounts the storage box, an EncFS volume and rsyncs my files.
Same, but I use Borg backup. Pretty sure hetzner storage supports Borg server to make things a touch quicker too. No issues yet!
That's a nice setup. I actually let
resticdo my backups. Is there an advantage of using EncFS/rsync? Like not having to use SSH?No, well I do the first mount over sshfs, then wrap EncFS because I don't trust hetzner with my unencrypted data. rsync just makes sure I only copy whatever files changed since last run to keep traffic at a minimum.
Another recommendation for storagebox from here. Cheapest option I've found and they are pretty reliable. I use proxmox backup server to sync my VMs there (encrypted of course).
Same. It's enough for me (I don't really have that much data) and just use rclone to back it up.
