@domi My backups are on a cheap 5T usb drive connected to an intel nuc (celeron 3050) from 2016. My offsite backups are on an identical drive, connected to an Atom D525 in my moms house. Yes, that atom box was built when I still lived there and has been running 24/7 for over 15 years (not with the same disks tough).

@domi upload the chunks of data to DNS with a really long TTL, then periodically pull them from someone's cache, and get them re-cached

@domi I hate that I'm suggesting this, you're probably going to reject this out of principle, but aws glacier. Tossing your numbers into the aws calc it comes out to roughly 30 $/month + $1.5 for an initial upload. Keep in mind that a restore would cost you over $150 so

@domi groans AWS Deep Glacier (yes, I’m aware), not much beats them on price for *nix systems ahh, already suggested, nevermind

@domi In my experience anything other than local storage is going to be prohibitively expensive I even checked my employer and unfortunately we're at a terrible corporate 250GB/$5 pricing :neofox_melt_sob: I did find this though, haven't looked deep into it: https://pulsedmedia.com/storage-boxes.php Looks like terribly slow egress, but the pricing feels wild :thonk:

@domi currently I just don’t for a lot of data (due to a lack of places to store them). I think if I had that much data to back up I’d consider getting a tape drive.

@domi I'm not aware of any service even close to that pricing tbh

@domi I’m not sure of the price, but I use some of Infomaniaks other services, which are not at all expensive. They have Swiss Backup which might be relevant to check out: https://www.infomaniak.com/en/swiss-backup I love having my service at a European Company I can actually call on the phone.

@domi@donotsta.re OVH cold object storage is about that price, scaleway was also suggested. Another option is your own tapes, if you can get access to a drive. You could make use of the library at hswaw. Still leaves the problem of moving and storing the tapes physically somewhere tho.
