I could be wrong, but I remember reading some companies using AI to analyze your data traffic. Even when encrypted, they may be able to tell that it must be video streaming of some sort. Many providers ban video streaming altogether, legal or not.
Comment on Backblaze B2 vs other storage providers to store legally ripped media

I won’t comment on legality of anything, but if you encrypt your data it’ll be impossible for anyone to tell what it is. Rclone has an option to do this.

Sounds like OP is asking about file storage. Video streaming could be spotted using info leaked regarding traffic behavior. But uploading an encrypted file for storage shouldn’t leak anything except the size.

Yes but they cannot determine it isn’t audio of me singing in my own shower

Can I do incremental backups with rclone whilst encrypting it?
solrize@lemmy.world 3 months ago
Idk about rclone but you can do that with Borg backup.

Borg is a great tool, you should check it out
maiskanzler@feddit.de 3 months ago
But Borg does not work with object storage, it needs a borg process on the receiving side.

Yes.

Yes, that’s how I do backups
MigratingtoLemmy@lemmy.world 3 months ago
Do you create one large binary blob or do you encrypt each file separately?
scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 3 months ago
separately, that’s how I can maintain partial backups. The rclone crypt stuff is good at keeping track on huge amounts of files quickly
