I have a Hetzner storage box which also has a borgbackup server installed.
follow up - i never considered offsite backups for my data. i have a ds920+ that's got some big drives in it and thats all i need. but after reading this post i considered backup. what i went with was a qnap ts233, a wifi adapter, and 2 6t's that i had replaced with bigger ones on my syno. My syno is my daily driver and the new qnap sits on my work desk at the office, syncs with the syno, and backs up my photos and docs. Happy with this back up method. Thanks for the great post.
Gocryptfs + Rclone sync to B2
Used to use freefilesync for offsite backups, but haven't in a while. Wanted to replace that with a native BTRFS offsite sync tool like Btrbk, but haven't got around to it yet
My personal approach to offsite is to have my NAS, running TrueNAS Core, automatically encrypt and back up its primary pool directly to an S3-compatible service called Wasabi.
I've also considered setting up a small box with a 12TB hard drive at my parents' house a few miles away for ZFS replication.
Urbackup for workstations, and Proxmox Backup Server for my 2 Proxmox hosts.
Both configured with borg backups to rsync.net.
I haven't configured it yet, but I am planning on using rsync.net for my Synology as well (Which is mostly archive storage)
I'm using AWS S3. I've got a script on my RPI that runs daily and uses the AWS CLI to sync my photos etc to there, and stores it as Glacier storage.
It's about US$9 per month for 800GB of storage, at that time it was the cheapest and most convenient.
Backblaze, move everything u want to an external attached hdd and then back that up with the backblaze client
My server is now up to 100 and something tb of storage. About 50% used. Raid 6. (Yes raid isn’t a backup. I know) Mainly media. Movies, tv, music, Books/audiobooks.
I’ve separated our media storage vs OS.
I only backup my OS and configs. It goes to an on-site nas.
If my media library dies, I’ll just slowly re-download what people want.
If I lose my os, I have one backup, other wise I’m off to work rebuilding that too.
I’m happy to pay for iCloud at this stage to backup and store sentimental or critical things.

I run a Windows 10 vm that shares a drive with samba, I borg/kopia backup everything to it, and it runs the backblaze client which then backs up to Backblaze personal backup.
