I'm interested to hear what do people use as their cloud backup and the cost of it. I currently use idrive e2 storage at 5$ per TB a month. Trying to see if there is any better deal anywhere and just curious on everyone's thoughts.

I use Backblaze B2 for off-site backup.

I recently starting using Proxmox Backup Server to back up my virtual machines.

I have Restic scheduled to back up the PBS folder, photos, etc. multiple times per week. My restic script excludes large replaceable things like video files.

Backblaze announced recently that they're switching to everything being encrypted on their end. It's already encrypted coming from my server, but I guess it'll be double encrypted? The only caveat is it only applies to new objects, so I plan on making a new bucket and starting my backup from scratch.
