I’ve been hopping between idrive e2 plans to save money for my cloud backups (which I’ve never had to restore from). But this time, even with their discounts, it’s just going to be too expensive to sustain.

I read that a Hetzner Storage Box might be a good option. It’s relatively cheap ~$13 USD / 5tb a month (I’m in Canada, so currency conversion will make that higher).

They are located in Germany, and support Hyperbackup via Rsync.

I’ve never used their service, so I’m looking for feedback.

    I back up my Proxmox VMs/LXCs and Home Assistant to my Synology NAS which then gets sent off to Hetzner Storage Box (among other places). Just set it up a couple of months ago. Was easy to set up and haven’t had to touch it since. Just made me realize, however, I havent tested a retrieval and spin-up from the storage box yet…I should get on that.
