Comment on Searching advice for selfhosting critical data
hamsda@lemm.ee 2 days agoYes, you’re right. As David From Space said in this comment, the real critical data is far less then all of the backed up data.
So I definitely can have an offsite-backup, it just depends on if I can single these things out in nextcloud, possibly via regular export to the filesystem.

Yea if you don’t need much then you can do with exporting not a lot of stuff.
Google is evil but I know that GDrive has pretty low prices on data storage
There are many cold storage services out there with good pricing. If you need a VPS with good storage (to automate sync, etc… idk), I know I would use Interservers, based in the USA, priced at 3$/TB/month (HDD)
But if you only want to sync a small amount then you can do with free services, probably. Don’t forget to encrypt everything when uploading to these services! Don’t want them to be able to see the content of your files.

That is what I am hoping for :) My free Google account grants me 15GB of online storage and my free Microsoft account provides me with another 5GB. The 15 GB should be enough for encrypted photo backups, while 5GB definitely is enough for encrypted calendar, contact and probably some document backups. I just need to find a way to automate backups to these.
If I am going to pay money for something and with how the world currently is, I’m going to use some EU based service. My only VPS resides at hetzner, if the need arises I will probably just add a storage volume to my VPS or upgrade it to the next tier.

Got it! Sadly, hetzner doesn’t have the best prices on storage

Yeah, hetzner’s more about having your own servers than providing cheap storage.
