Backblaze charges $100 per year for unlimited storage.? ( if you use a NAS to copy from, they charge about $6 per TB per month).? This is a good deal, but not really super cheap..... For a lot less money ($120 or so, on a one time purchase) , you can buy a cheap USB desktop or portable HDD (WD or Seagate) and find a friend or Father.Mother,Sister,Son,Daughter's house to leave it at. Update it as often or infrequently as you wish. I use a second home as my remote location.? I have a Synology NAS there and another at home.? I sneaker-net the files across to update them.... my Internet provider wants a fortune to upgrade the service (speed of service)? such that I could use remote upgrade using NAS to NAS transfers.? This is maybe not the cheapest solution, but the NAS costs about $300, 2x 16TB HDD at $200 each, and you have a 16TB fully protected system, forever.? ( redundant data storage form the RAID array is another safety protection) It just occurred to me... does everyone know what sneaker-net is? I have worked with 2 of our LUG members to completely remotely setup and monitor their NAS solutions.? I would be willing to work with others as well.... just ask... cost is $0.
