Trying Borg backups. @aaron kinda made me curious. MegaSync is still failing so it is unreliable. Borg is more complicated to backup and restore with it from my first impression. You need to generate these ssh keys and all that, and repositories, etc. :D . It is not as bad as it sounds, but definitely not install and run sort of thing. The great aspect is that I can backup my computer files + servers with it. Both. So far I am testing the computer via Vorta. Seems to work well. Compression and Deduplication made my first 240GB batch of files as low as 165GB. Now backing up some 2.5TB to test. Lots of videos for TROM 2.
The downside is that it is more expensive. Mega was 300 Euros for 16TB a year. Borg is 750 Euros for the same storage space. More than 3 times. But maybe with compression and deduplication I may only need 8TB, which is some 400 Euros a year. I need to test it.
All of them are tons more expensive than doing local backups but doing local backups means you are stuck in the same place, physically, since you need the drives and the internet connection. And I may not have those in the near future (1-2 years who knows). I may even end up with buying a Borg backup for 150$ a year only for the servers and try to use a cheaper Mega for other files...idk...let's see...

in reply to Tio • • •Why does a good cloud backup cost this much ? Mega is kinda cheap but it lacks the stability and robustness of handling large amounts of files. I know tools like rsync can be used to transfer & backup files, but you still need a remote server with enough storage for it to work.......
This is kinda tricky, maybe a mix of both mega and borg would do it for you......
