Comment on What to use as offsite backup?

If you have a Windows or Mac machine, Backblaze will give you UNLIMITED backup storage for $7 per month. They won’t let you use Linux and they won’t let you back up network drives.

So, I have an 8TB drive in my Windows Plex server and shared on the network, and I have every other machine in my house backing up to that network location. Because the drive is local to that one windows machine, Backblaze will back it all up, and any other drives I put on there. I use FileHistory to back up my Windows gaming machine and SyncThing to back up non-Windows machines.

It takes a little work to set up with SyncThing, but I’m pretty sure that’s one of the cheapest ways to back up a shitload of data. And Backblaze recently upgraded the unlimited plan to 1 year of history.
