I'm interested to hear what do people use as their cloud backup and the cost of it. I currently use idrive e2 storage at 5$ per TB a month. Trying to see if there is any better deal anywhere and just curious on everyone's thoughts.

I use Backblaze B2. About 512GB for about $3-4 a month. Its my secondary backup so hopefully will never have to use it ๐Ÿคฃ

Same. Local RAID 1 with rotating external drives where one is always offsite, then B2 as a last ditch "just in case" for my most important data. I forget how much data I have in B2 but it's about $2/month.

So true, it's kinda my only offsite backup because my other copy is only the mirrored drives. Backup is so expensive ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Yeah it's gotten even worse with all this AI hardware shortage crap
