Ask HN: Where do you back up your files?

1 pointchrisshroba1 comment

There are several old HN threads about what tools people use to back up their personal files to remote servers, but I'm specifically wondering what the best options are for hosting the remote backups.

I'd love to push all my data to some remote filesystem using Attic, rsync, or similar tools, but am having trouble finding cost effective options.

Backblaze and Tarsnap allow you to ship off your files to remote filesystems for relatively cheap. I personally have Syncthing on all my machines sharing a large directory. My HTPC also keeps staggered backups of the data in case of data corruption, deletion or encrypting-malware. Used to have Spideroak, but it failed to sync files several times, so I left it.
