Realistically you shouldn’t depend on a single place for backups
Remember 3-2-1. Three places, two mediums and one offsite
i wonder what trustworthy european provider to use anyway (that has similarly good pricing)
Personally I use Hetzner Storage Box
tho hetzner storagebox is hit or miss. you can run into deadlocks from cifs mounts on servers with it
Same. It’s pretty cheap, comes with unlimited free traffic and is just simple to use. Supports many ways to access it, including BorgBackup.
Back up your backups
The 6-5-4-3-2-1 method
I’m doing a 5-4-3-2-1 method. 5 backups. 4 on-site. 3 attached to one machine, 2 of those are on separate external usb drives synced at different intervals. 1 in the shed.
Certainly has me concerned. I’ll have to investigate a bit more into the financial solvency of the company to better understand whether they are at least covering bills and such… but honestly sounds like they aren’t and haven’t been.
Going to need to start looking for alternative S3 type storage.
Yeah, personally I’m optimistic, but I’d be in a boat of expecting access to be shut off one day, and ready to start uploading to a new provider at any moment
I hate to say it, but i kinda saw this coming. Ever since they went public, i lost trust in them as they become beholden to profit maximizing shareholders. I switched away 3 years ago. The part I didn’t expect was the lies and insolvency.
I switched to StorJ, which supports S3 and works as a drop in replacement for a lower price.
Another good drop in alternative that speaks S3 is scaleway. Their based in France, but it’s a bit more pricy, especially with the US$ taking a nosedive against the euro.
