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.
Using it to backup from a QNAP. Works very well and hassle-free. I’m using the QNAP backup app, but would be just as easy with any other tool. Just make sure to encrypt the backups.
I am using them on a small storage box (around 2tb) and I am quite happy with it. One of the things that I particularly liked is the documentation. If you have a use case for rsync, Borg backup or others, it’s probably covered in their documentation (plus, never had an outage or issue with my data). I didn’t use their support at this point, but ibheard good things about it as well.
Not for a Synology, but I doubt Hetzner cares where the data comes from. Works well, especially once you got the keys in place. Have stored and restored, it’s a simple file storage.
It’s one of the view cloud storage options that have an official tutorial to get it working: https://community.hetzner.com/tutorials/synology-hyperbackup-to-storagebox
Some other options I’ve come across don’t support webdav, rsync, or anything else that might make life easier. LOL
Couldn’t be happier with them. They just work and announce ahead of time about any maintenance. Have a storage box from them for backups and a vps for other uses. I do my backups with pika-backup (a borg frontend).
I’ve been using one of their 20TB boxes for backups for about a year now. I use restic. No issues whatsoever.
No idea about their storage boxes. But I’ve rented dedicated servers from them for a long time. Both as a corporate and private customer. Never had a problem. Support was always great. Sometimes even Mr Hetzner himself would step in.
