+1 on duplicity. I run it directly on the host, outside of my docker containers. Grabs the data from the different volumes for my Nextcloud etc, puts it all into an AWS infrequent access bucket. Costs me ~3$USD/month. Pretty simple. Runs on cron

I really like duplicacy. It’s just a single executable you add to your path, then configure it to back up to basically any remote you want. I don’t even bother to run it in a container since it doesn’t have dependencies. Encrypted, compressed, deduplicated, incremental backups. The algorithm is pretty slick too. It can back up multiple machines to the same repository, and it’ll dedupe across them without any locks required.
For storage, you can just go with whatever is cheapest/easiest. I use a gdrive I’m paying for regardless for effectively free storage. But if I didn’t have that, Hetzner seems very appealing. I think it’s $4/mo for 1TB? Very reasonable, and you wouldn’t need to worry about api calls or chunk size / file count like you would with S3/B2/StorJ.

+1 for Duplicacy, very worth it IMO. Not only do I use it for my PC, I back up my server to my other server in another state with 8t. I also use it with Backblaze B2 (for very important files) which is slightly more than Hetzner ($6/TB). I haven’t run into any chunking issues and they don’t charge for API calls. Highly recommendated.

B2 does charge for API calls: www.backblaze.com/…/transaction-pricing
Though, it’s not so bad and they give you 2.5k free calls of each paid tier per day.

Ah, I stand corrected. That’s probably why I’ve never been charged, 2.5k is a lot for my use.
