I run #Nextcloud on a VPS with 120 GB of storage and it was getting tight. So I got the #Hetzner#StorageBox at a wonderful price: 1 TB for €3.20/m.
I was a bit worried about the speed with such a cheap storage, but so far it's worked well. I've set it up as an external storage in Nextcloud, but if it continues to work well, I may just mount it to the Nextcloud data path at the system level and move all the data there.
Tools used are #restic and #rclone. All data is encrypted client side before being shipped to the cloud.
Comparing up-times, speeds (both down and up), and the correctness of the data stored. The last part was done using a VPS, and the data was found to be identical.
On speed (up and down) Jotta wins, Hetzner comes second, Mega fluctuates wildly.
On up-time Jotta and Hetzner tie, Mega went off-line for me at some points (worrysome)
On price Jotta also wins. Mega comes second, Hetzner last.
So I'll stick with Jotta. It's hosted in europe, it's fast, it's priced decently, support reacted fast when I asked some (noob) questions.
Currently I have snapshots going back to mid 2022, which are being pruned according to a schedule, but I've already exceeded 5TB of storage.
I'd like something that'd perhaps slightly less convoluted, but also doesn't break the bank. I'd love to use straight ZFS #replication but that is priced out of my budget.
