tech, discussing storage solutions okay, so I need to think about the backup infrastructure for my server(s), including databases and my nextcloud archive

options:

- AWS Glacier Deep Archive. I'd rather avoid using them, but they seem to be the cheaper and simpler option. $0.00099/GB/month

- Storj. $0.004/GB/month. The thing about them is, I already use the as object storage for some stuff (like media storage for this instance), and they just announced a $5 monthly minimum fee, so if I start using them for this as well, I might make up for it. But I'm not sure if it'd really make up for it, I'd need to reach 1TB in backups for it to be worth it.

- OVH, either Cloud Archive ($0.002409/GB/month), or Cold Archive ($0.0013797/GB/month but with 1TB and 180 days min usage). the 180 days shouldn't be okay, but 1TB... it definitely makes more sense than Storj tho

- Hetzner, $0.00725/GB/month with 1TB min usage

- Upcloud, $0.064/GB/month. kinda expensive.

tech, discussing storage solutions so basically, Hetzner makes no sense with OVH on the table. I kinda wanna avoid AWS. and OVH kinda also beats Storj anyway...

tech, discussing storage solutions @kitten I wouldn’t touch OVH with a thousand foot pole, let alone for a backup, if it helps blobcatderpy

tech, discussing storage solutions @xerz yeah but that'd require both my servers (not on OVH) and their servers malfunctioning at the same time. pretty unlikely

tech, discussing storage solutions @kitten Hetzner also has the storage boxes, which are cheaper than S3:

tech, discussing storage solutions @LilaHexe yep, in fact I already use them as live storage for my nextcloud. after realizing that I already kinda discarded them, since using them for the backups as well would render them a bit less useful ​:neocat_laugh_sweat:​

(tempting tho... but considering how I don't trust hetzner to not come one day and just cancel my account...)

tech, discussing storage solutions @kitten yeah I have encrypted backups there, so there's no way Hetzner can tell that there's yuri there!
