Hi everyone,
I would like to ask your opinions on reliable cloud storage providers for media. I have a media collection that isn’t too big (about 2-3TB) that I’d like to store on the cloud since I’ll be moving in the future and don’t think I can handle multiple hard drives.
What do you suggest? Any issues I should be looking at? I came across Wasabi too, along with the more expensive Scaleway and Cloudflare R2 offerings. For now Backblaze seems fine in terms of reliability, but has anyone come across complaints from them regarding what is stored on their servers?
Thanks!
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.
Can I do incremental backups with rclone whilst encrypting it?
Idk about rclone but you can do that with Borg backup.
Borg is a great tool, you should check it out
But Borg does not work with object storage, it needs a borg process on the receiving side.
Another alternative then would be Restic. That’s what I’m using for backups
Or rustic! It is compatible with restic but has some nice additions, for example the fact that supports a config files. It makes operations a bit easier IMHO (I am currently using both).
I wrote a WebDAV server you can use as the frontend for it that can encrypt everything you upload.

There’s something I’m using that Backblaze doesn’t support, so I’m fixing that right now.
Edit: Ok, I fixed the issue and updated it on Docker. It now works with Backblaze. It’s a bit slow, but I’m not sure if that’s just my connection or Backblaze.
For a short period of time, nobody will care, especially with almost zero traffic.
But for only up to 3tb, you can easily fit that on a single drive.
