I just got my home server up and running and was wondering what you guys recommend for backups. I figure it will probably be worth having backups on cloud servers tjay are external, are there any good services yall use for that?
I use Duplicati connected to Storj with data volumes that incrementally get backed up once per month. My files don’t change very often, so monthly is a good balance. Not counting my Jellyfin library, those backups are around 1 TB. With the Jellyfin library, almost 15 TB.
Earlier this year, I recovered from a 100% data loss scenario, as I didn’t (and still don’t) have space for physical backups. I have a 25 TB allowance, so my actual cost was €0. If I had to pay, it would have been under €1.
Definitely 25 TB. I’ve used the service for a long time, since before they accepted credit cards. I attached my credit card one day and got a bump to 25 TB. Since that happened, I pay basically nothing and my account is still 100% storj token funded.
Edit: I dug up screenshots I sent someone recently
That’s fair. I’m 100% onboard the decentralisation train, and do my hardest to practice what I preach. In the event that the service does go bust, I can make a backup on a different S3 compatible service immediately as long as my working copy is intact. The likelihood of the backup service AND the working copy dying at the exact same time would be my cue to take up knitting.

Do you mean 25TB as the storj site says 25gb? Did some promotion give you that much free?

I want 25 TB ☹️
That’s amazing. Hopefully I can get the same
That seems to be the key bit, since everyone can use up to 25TB (if they can pay for it). Are you also hosting a node to earn
creditstokens?That looks like a cool setup, but I would never trust important data to some crypto shit (Storj) no matter what kind of track record they have.
