Looking for non-US cloud storage. The more paranoid the better!

I used to use B2 before the whole CEO financial issues came out (not another one accused of something unsavoury) and wasn't sure how it's going to pan out. I switched to a cheaper (per GB) Hetzner storage box and am super happy with it

I use restic, specifically https://github.com/garethgeorge/backrest for making backups and uploading them via rclone.

Can you link something about the Backblaze CEO? I'm not finding anything.

It was some dodgy accounting accusations/reveals https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025/04/backblaze-responds-to-claims-of-sham-accounting-customer-backups-at-risk/

For me it was an excuse to try something new and cover my ass just in case this didn't pan out. But overall it looks to have blown over

Backblaze strongly denies all the allegations, and claims instead that Morpheus is attempting to manipulate its stock price for financial gain. The firm admits to holding short positions in Backblaze shares.

Not saying that the Morpheus report isn't true, but that's a pretty damning conflict of interest.
