If I will need to extract the full backup, it will cost me $4 ($0.01 * 400). Price is very different, but with 400GB you might end up spending from $5 to $10, or more per month. One of the options was to go with some VPS and rsync 4 classic setup.Įach cloud provider has a cost for bandwidth, storage and compute. I’ve wanted something simple, cheap, secure which I can execute in the terminal and it would just work. Self-hosted instance of Nextcloud 3 as a main source of storageĪnd the time came to introduce cloud backup.When I was young I had not a pleasant experience of losing hard drive and all family photos, videos, etc…Īfter this, I’m a little bit paranoid about where such information should be stored and how it should be backed up.Ĭurrently, my storage environment looks as follows: I already had two pieces of the formula (3 copies, 2 of them on different external hard drives). There should be at least 3 copies of the data, stored on 2 different types of storage media, and one copy should be kept offsite, in a remote location (this can include cloud storage). There is a 3-2-1 backup rule 2 which is nice to follow: When you work more and more in IT you understand the importance of a good level of redundancy.Įverything breaks at some point (accidentally or on purpose), you need to have backups. It took some time to tune all the parameters of the Rclone 1 to successfully create an initial backup (around 400GB) and keep the network alive. I’m living in a place with not the fastest internet download/upload (39/12 Mbps) speeds. Some time ago I concluded that it would be nice to have an offsite copy of the important data if something will go completely wrong.
