IDrive e2 decreased free egress from 3:1 to 1:1

Joining the moving away from iDrive train. Any recommendations for ~500G of backup data? Currently gonna roll my own minio.

FYI - If anyone is staying with them, trying to cancel the plan gives you a 25% off on renewal.

Move to Backblaze B2 which is a little more expensive but more reliable, or stop using S3 and move to a storage VPS.

You can host files on hosthatch storage server, just cose 5$/1TB storage/2TB bandwidth/1 month

just wanted to comment, we have been seing more and more corrupted data on idrive S3 (resulting on losing data). plus some network congestion since few weeks already.

We escaped from Wasabi, because they lost/corrupted data.
now the same with idrive S3, and we just have 50TB with them, and less than a year, and they have already screw all up.

ah... you need backup server for your object storage, sounds wired but it's ture

maybe, but seeing data corruption in wasabi and now in idrive2, seems they are not reliable at all.

why would anyone store 100-200tb or more with them, if they can corrupt data or "lose" few files every few thousand files (Wich makes backups worthless). plus, that's after the data is stored and verified, so is something you can't keep track of.

Well, you shouldn't keep all your eggs in one basket anyway. You should duplicate them to multiple types baskets and put one of them far away from the others.

3-2-1
three copies
two types of media
one off-site

99.999999999 (nine nines) data integrity doesn't help you if you store 10,000,000,000 bits of data, because one bit will statistically not be accounted for.

Right, but is there a point in using a basket if you know it has huge holes to begin with?

Yes. Most of the times some eggs are still better than none.
Since there is no way to have 100% data integrity anyway going at it with a "why bother"-mentality should result in throwing out any modern electronic device, which it doesn't, does it?
