Restic to Wasabi.
I used to use Backblaze B2, until I did the maths on how much it would cost me to restore. B2 storage is cheap yes, but the egress is so fucking expensive. It would have cost me hundreds.
Wasabi storage is equally cheap, and restoring won't cost me an arm and a leg.
I use the following scripts for Restic: https://gitlab.com/finewolf-projects/restic-wrapper-scripts
wasabi is cheaper than B2 unless...
The 3 points above are how they can not charge egress for the majority of people.
Remember, this is for an offsite backup scenario.
Yeah, absolutely. In my case, I backup way more than 1TB.
Which is absolutely acceptable in a offsite backup scenario. The data there is present for a long time, and if you use a solution like Restic which has deduplication capabilities, this is not an issue.
This is false. You can only download the same amount as you store in a month without violating the terms of service. That said, I've been using Wasabi in a professional manner for a number of years now, and as long as it isn't a regular occurrence, you can always contact support and give them a heads up that you do need to have more egress in a month.
This only occurs if you have to do a full restore TWICE in a month, which I had to once due to our team not noticing that the SAS controlled had failed and was responsible for corrupting data; not the drives. Support was quick, and it was no issue. Still didn't pay for that egress.
Backblaze will ship you a drive up to 8TB with your restore data on it. You pay a $189 fee which includes shipping and handling and serves as a deposit to guarantee the drive while it’s in your hands. They refund the deposit when they get the drive back. Or you can keep the drive if you like.
