I had backblaze, and it’s really a bummer they don’t support linux. The closest one I’ve found is Icedrive, but it costs a bit more. I don’t mind paying a bit more though for a FOSS solution (technially not free but yeah). I probably only have 2 TB of actual important stuff but it would be nice to have more for future.
Crashplan, currently around 4TB and several million files being backed up without issue.
Recently swapped from bare metal to docker without issue.
I use Nextcloud with Hetzner Storage Share. Quite cheep, and easy to synch two PCs and a phone. I also use another old PC where I sync to every week to have a ‘local’ backup.
I’ve been using mega.nz and Google Drive. I’ve tried a few other solutions, but didn’t stick with them. Then I tried Proton Drive, and it works fine. But now I mostly use pCloud, because I got a good deal, for a lifetime 2TB, for one payment. This I use now…
I considered Proton Drive but stopped when I realized that if I did then access to my email would be contingent on keeping up to date with my subscription, where it wouldn’t on the free tier.
I use Woelkli’s Nextcloud server. It’s free.
Got sick of waiting for Proton Drive desktop client for Linux, went to Filen and am pretty happy with it.
Backblaze B2B with duplicacy
I have a numebr of backup systems going on, but if i take “cloud” to mean “offsite” then my sution to that is a proxmox backup server set up in my home (great for proxmox PVEs but you can back up anything to them) and my friend 3000 miles away also has one in his home. We each set up sync jobs so our local backups are also stored on the remote proxmox backup server.
I’ve just installed kopia on my home server. The web interface is super simple and it has exactly all the features I want (encryption, differential & retention tweaking).
It works with S3, so I pay less than a cent per GB for a cloud provider from my country. This pricing works best for me because I only backup about 20GB of data.
For Linux you can use Backblaze B2 with Restic, Backrest is a nice webUI and scheduler for Restic that I like using.
iDrive also supports linux with their own backup app, it works reasonably well.
+1 for Restic on Backblaze. It’s cheap af for my setup because all my data is on a RAID 10 pool with snapshots. Then anything that needs to be safe from theft/fire/unlikely number of simultaneous failures gets sent to Backblaze.
Backblaze B2 using Kopia
Proton. People will give me shit for it but when it comes to trying to maintaining convenience while getting rid of Google, it’s basically the best aside from going fully self hosted or going with some alternative that isn’t particularly feature rich.
Proton Drive does not support Linux…
I think there is early beta support in Rclone, but I have seen many reports of it not working well.
Unless I’m misunderstanding it looks like they do work with rclone https://rclone.org/protondrive/

This won’t work for you because it’s not enough space, but other people might consider paying money to a place like SDF. I think it was $3 a month (IIRC) for 800 GB of space, and it’s for a good cause.
I use rsync and gocryptfs to back my stuff up there. I also have local hard drives for backups.
Maybe there’s another pubnix that you can pay to get more storage.
Back in the day, I had local hard drives that I would mirror and sneakernet to my friend’s house every couple weeks. We’d trade drives and then we’d have an off-site.
If I weren’t using SDF, I’d probably set up a home server someplace or talk to a friend who already had one and rsync to that.
seconding SDF. they’ve also got great resources such as a cool mastodon server/lemmy/etc. the unix shell is neat too
