What backup service do you use?
I just got my home server up and running and was wondering what you guys recommend for backups. I figure it will probably be worth having backups on cloud servers tjay are external, are there any good services yall use for that?

rsync.net is great if you need something simple and cheap. Backblaze B2 is also decent, but does have the typical download and API usage cost.
I had never heard of rsync.net until now. I like the idea but it seems more expensive than B2. $15/TB vs $5/TB. Am I doing the math wrong or reading it wrong?
I've never heard of it either, but I came to the same conclusion as you
Yeah rsync.net has always been pricey.
When I researched what to use for my backup I found rsync.net. They have some nice features nobody else seems to support, like they support ZFS send/receive https://www.rsync.net/products/zfsintro.html
But in the end the price made me go with borgbase.com
I don't see it on their website right now, but they offer a discount if you're using something like restic/borg and only need scp/sftp access. Their support is also super friendly. I've had an account forever and got moved to the 100+ TB pricing even though I have < 50TB stored. YMMV but it doesn't hurt to ask if they have any additional discounts.
Also keep in mind that B2 charges for bandwidth too. It's $5/TB for storage, but $10/TB to download that same data.
Sure but backup is mostly data in (free on B2). Data out is rare, if ever.
If i wasn’t backing up 12TB+ I would actually go with rsync for the features though.
Borgbase looks interesting, too.

How are you using rsync with B2? Are you mounting the bucket locally?
