Looking for a good, cheap backup solution. - eviltoast

I’ve been using pCloud to back up only the most important information. The stuff that’s hard to get back if something bad happens. Kept in sync with rclone.

Now I think it’s time to scale up. I have 1 computer with 4 hard drives plugged up to it. I want to either back up the whole things. I’m thinking of something like backblaze. What does everyone here do for backups?

    Look for things like restic, borg and duplicacy. They do differential backups and work well with slow remote storage.

    I use backblaze with duplicacy and it works fine. Initial backup can take a while (nearly a week for me) but subsequent backups are fine. It’s not fast per se, but sufficient for emergency recovery should I need it.
