I backup around 2TB with Restic, also tried locally with Borg. The size is nearly the same. Sadly, I can’t even test with Tarsnap! (absurd pricing for 2TB).

> absurd pricing for 2TB

Well, it can't be that ba..

    $0.25 x 2000 = $500

Yikes. And this is without BW costs.

At $500/M you can just rent a dedicated physical server with a lot of HDDs and still have money left for your favourite pumpkin latte.

For comparison rsync.net says it's $0.015 per GB/Mo, for 2TBs that's $30/m and no BW costs.

Not in any way affiliated but I'm a happy user of Scaleway's Object Storage [0] together with S3QL [1]. It's not the fastest but they give you 75GB of storage for free so that's a fair trade [2].

I'm renting $15/mo 2TB atom machine from OVH/kimsufi as second target for backups.

Now that I think about it... some kind of micro-distributed backup server (throw on few of your machines, auto-replicate between) would be a neat project...

It's not even that neat.

Just slap rsync/syncthing to the backup dir.
