Online at a few clouds in encrypted way. The current design for backup is: - all machines backup itself via rustic to the storage; - near the storage I do have "manager" which runs retention policy, checks that backup is redable and syncs it via rclone with external clouds; - storage and clouds makes automatical snapshots of data. Right now I'm usign following clouds: - Hetzenr Storagebox as the storage, which costs ~€2/Tb/month; - Hetzner VPS as a manager, which costs ~€5/month; - Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Archive Storage, which costs ~€2,5/Tb/month + ~€8/Tb for downloading; - Scaleway Glacier, which costs ~€2/Tb/month + €9/Tb for downloading. As the end, 10Tb backups with 3 replicas costs me ~€70 per months. -- wbr, Kirill
