I am working to find a cheaper solution for my personal backups that are about 3-4TB. Borgbase is too expensive. I bought a Hetzner Storage Box - 13 Euros a month for 5TB. That's insanely cheap. 3x cheaper than BorgBase. And it supports borg, sftp, webdav and more.
Currently I am trying a new app I found - Kopia - entirely open source and fast as hell. That plus Hetzner via webdav. So far so great. I will make an article after I decide how to move forward with the backups. Could be an interesting article in terms of how I manage to backup some 2-3TB of server files and some 3-4TB of personal files. Millions in total. Daily. Automated and encrypted.

in reply to Tio • • •I have also looked at Hetnzer's storage pods. DO KEEP IN MIND: they don't have redundancy
(by that I mean: yes, they do use RAID but it's all on one server.
If you compare that with Backblaze B2 for example: there it's more distributed across the entire data center)
While an OVHfire type situation would likely destroy an entire datacenter, with Backblaze it's possible that the only the affected area lost some data but not all of it.

"Can I store x TB on your server if you get to store x TB on my server?"
Doesn't get much cheaper than that

in reply to Tio • • •There should be 3 copies of data
On 2 different media
With 1 copy being off-site
