Storage for Backup - SFTP
I am looking for storage for backup:
50GB+
SFTP
EU Location
1 Gbps preferred
250GBish Transfer
Would prefer not having a VPS to concern myself with, keeping it secure/updated. I am going to be using Arq to backup from - hence the SFTP requirement.
Adequate RAID is important, as is price 
Yes, I know!

Do they offer a backup solution with no VPS?
Yes, https://www.prometeus.net/billing/cart.php?gid=15. Although SFTP isn't enabled by default, it can be by ticket.
That was easy - all sorted now
It's a necro bump but seeing as it is my own thread what's the harm
I am looking for a further storage instance, this time 100GB, still with SFTP access. I prefer managed, so Cpanel or another panel, with no need for me to update the host os. Must be from an established provider.
Have a look at http://www.rackhost.co/announcements.php?id=13
Budget in mind? http://virpus.com/backup-storage.php
I use Arq with our S3-compatible Object Storage. If you're looking for a US mirror (east coast), then check it out: https://www.delimiter.com/objspace-object-storage/
100GB storage/400GB outbound bandwidth for $2.50/mo.
Thanks, looking at around $5-10 per month.
That looks good, tempted...as you say could be an additional backup. What sort of redundancy does this operate under?
While I agree with you on that, if you find no better option a VPS can be quite easy to keep up to date if you install only the software you need, a good firewall and https://wiki.debian.org/UnattendedUpgrades
Good luck
Delimiter's S3 storage provides 3 x data replication across multiple chassis across multiple racks.
Many of us use internally for backup, image offloading or a backend for things like Dropshare/Dropzone.
Can work with you on price if need be. Feel free to open a sales ticket here
Good luck and thanks for the consideration!
