How does Hetzner work? I just looked at their [storage box](https://www.hetzner.com/storage/storage-box/) prices, and it seems too good to be true? €40/mo for 20TB. And they break it down to €0.0651/hr. Does that mean I could run the backups only when needed and pay less than €40/mo?

It is a monthly price you pay for the storage, traffic included. Breaking it down to hours would make sense if you keep the storage for a short time only. A backup you want to keep indefinitely of course.

The script to trigger my paperless export: `docker compose exec -T webserver document_exporter ../export` This is run via a crontab entry every night, and exports to a mounted directory. Said directory then is included in my nightly restic backup, scheduled via resticprofile.
