Is rsync.net a good service for backups?

I’ve been playing around with the self hosted apps for quite a while and I got to the point where I’m happy about my local setup. Next step is to setup reliable offsite backup. I’m using borgbackup as a tool to manage my backups (so far only local backups). I’ve been looking for an affordable yet reliable service to store my backups. Is rsync.net worth it? According to the “internet” it’s a good service but wanted to double check. What do you think about it?

hetzner storage box is cheaper afaik and works the same

Seeing all the hetzner mentions made me finally look into it and

  1. yep, they seem to be cheaper than alternatives without getting into shady territory and

  2. pretty easy to set up! I finally have an offsite backup of my home server and it only took me like an hour to do

If you ask me, I say Hetzner is a seriously underrated provider. I love using their services. Cheap as chips too.
