We (collectively) tend to want a robust, scalable, efficient system. If you use B2, which is always hot, it’s going to be $0.75/month or $9/year. It’ll just make a lot of this easier.Īnother suggestion: cold storage is great for saving money but again, adds complexity. Rclone will store 1:1 file to backup and can do encryption. It sounds like the files are archive and won’t be changing so the deduplication gains will be amongst other files, not newer versions of the same file (so presumably less significant). Why deal with complexities of all of this for such little data? They are also much more complex but are both super efficient though! Especially small changes in big files.īut you have 130gb of data. And this is compounded if you will be segregating some storage from the other. The issue is you really need the whole repo available to restore anything. I am not an expert on Borg and Duplicacy though I hear good things about both. The idea is that they probably won't get any issues using the cloud service, which will let me make a backup of the cloud without interfering with their work, assuring the data is rather 'up to date', as long as there's no issue backing up the data from de PC to the cloud. PC-> Cloud Service-> External Cold Storage

Right now I will try to backup following this flow :

My main issue is choosing a efficient tool/method for the job. I meant to say I am looking to test that small amount of data. For testing purposes consider that I need to backup:ġ00GB of media - raw images, images,videosģ0GB of personal data which needs to be encrypted.Ĭompression might be an issue on both data portions.Įdit: Seems people got the impression I only got the 130 to store. I am willing to test several methods for a simple portion of the data to be stored and move to a 'definitive solution' afterwards. I have looked at Borg and duplicacy as backup programs( do you suggest other?).

I will be needing to encrypt some of the data and the rest can be stored without any data encryption. I have the need to create several backups on S3 and cold HDDs, should the S3 backup not being available( do you suggest other method?). I am running Linux and I have been assigned with the responsibility to store the data in cold storage.
