Anyone here use any type of cloud storage or anything of the sort?

I want to start making backups of my computer and storing them somewhere.

Let me know of your experiences and price ranges.

    Yes I found it "ok" sometimes uploads/downloads where extremely slow ... others they where exceptional .... however what did it for me was the Egress fee... it cost me like $9 to download 600 gig to move somewhere else... plus the storage fees

    I'm using borgbase for backing up linux servers and idrive e2 as it's really really cheap (even at normal pricing its cheaper than the likes of wasabi)

    have used when they were rather new. Very easy to use, one flat fee etc.
    But ultimately, when i needed the backups they had lost them.

    They'd never admit this, and claimed the data is there, but for some reason after weeks of trying i could not get it out and always ended up in error.

    So i guess they had some HDD failures, and at that time at least they did not want to admit they too have failing HDDs, just like everyone else.
    Never looked back again that.

    What irks me is that they could not just admit data is gone and kept showing it available when it was not. Everyone has HDD Failures, and the bulk they have, i would be very surprised if they did not have a few data loss scenarios. I just happened to be one.

    I am certain i am in the 99.9th percentile special case, and very far from regular.
    Recoveries are a bit slow regardless with them, but it's quite nice and easy to use. Just make sure some important piece of data is not filtered out (large file cap, VM images etc.).

    Looks like they're down to 25 GB for new accounts according to their web page. Logged into my older account and there's a coupon applied for a "Free Tier Coupon (Legacy)."

    Been using it since 2017.

    My personal laptop & desktop are on Backblaze.

    My desktop HDD started corrupting data (was a nightmare) - bought a SSD, downloaded everything from Backblaze, no issues what so ever.

    Also, the additional plus point is, if I am travelling/away from my systems and need some file which is on my laptop/desktop, I retrieve it from Backblaze's Mobile App (since the files are continuously uploaded).

    So yeah, Backblaze has been a life saver for me.

    Another vote for backblaze. I use it for small object storage needs where something like 1TB plans doesn't make sense. I have a small bucket with photos, maybe 50gb. I pay 19 cents a month to store it.

  • hamperedhampered Member

    Scaleway Object storage is my go to...no request fees which always bothered me on other S3 compatible storage...I could never really know how many requests I would use and I just didn't want to have to worry about rclone or Kopia doing a crazy amount of requests
