Hello!
I am trying to set up a good strategy to have both my data and a reliable backup.
I currently have a SSD with my OS (Windows 10, but it can change to Linux in the near future), one HDD with 1 TB of storage for my work and personal files and a 1TB NVME SSD where I store games. I am probably adding a SSD with linux (while I don't fully ditch Windows).
Additionally, I have a Seagate Backup plus of 5TB which I use with the Toolkit to backup the HDD.
By my understanding, this is not a 3-2-1 backup strategy yet
What I have of data is something around 250GB
I have read a little bit and although I know that selfhost and NAS are some top recommendations here, a Synology NAS is really expensive where I live (not US) and I don't know that for the volume of data that I have, it is really worth it (for now). I already pay for google drive, but the gb/$ does not seem good if I need to escalate.
Therefore, I wanted some recs on cloud services (it would be my off-site copy, last resort). I did some research and got to:
pcloud
icedrive
iDrive - these one you guys seem to hate, but it has good prices
Do you have any recommendations on what to avoid? Could you share your experiences with these services? (or recommend any other)
