Hi everyone,
I’ve started pushing backups of media important to me (family pictures, video etc) to backblaze with client-side encryption.
However, are they a reliable storage provider? I can’t help but compare them to something like Amazon who likely has a better chance of maintaining my files but they are so expensive that I don’t even bother.
What do you think? Yes, I’ve heard of 3-2-1, however for now I only have backblaze and a local backup. I’m trying not to spend too much on this.
Thanks!
ignore the cucks downvoting you, what privacy-respecting alternatives do you suggest?
I’ve recently switched from Backblaze to a Hetzner Storagebox. 5TB for only slightly more than I was paying for Backblaze.
They support BorgBackup out of the box, so super simple to set up encrypted, differential backups
there’s also the 14 eyes, when you consider this, you don’t even want to do or put anything online as everyone and everything wants to violate you for some profit
i’m now considering South America and Russian services as alternatives, but of course I’ll be encrypting my data before it leaves my device
not the op of this comment. I know there’s Infomaniak that is an independent host based in Switzerland, and they have a service called Infomaniak Swiss Backup. I might use their services in few times, so will come back to this comment to tell what I think of them in a few weeks if you wanna know
You could still encrypt your backups tho to make them private.
Just saying, but swiss privacy laws are a huge marketing hoax and amongst the worst in Europe.
