Still not 100% sure about the service - the speed is all over the place depending on the time of day - there’s no consistency whatsoever, which makes me worry a bit about the scale of their backend.


Initial tests were a bit bumpy (unexpected downtimes, timeouts, …), but support was responsive and in the end worked quite well. Pricing was better than B2 (no egress/download cost). Rclone is being used to encrypt/copy backups taken by Proxmox Backup Server (which takes backups of the VM’s/Linux Containers running on Proxmox VE, deduplicates and compresses the data) to remote storage, while restic is used to do deduplication/encryption and copying of data stored on my NAS to remote storage.įor a while I was using Backblaze B2 ( object storage) as a backend, but when I started validating part of my backups using restic’s check functions, costs went up dramatically (B2 charges for storage, download and certain transactions).Īfter some searching I came across iDrive E2, an S3-compatible object storage provider. Using Hetzner Storageboxes as backup targets for Restic/Rcloneįor my offsite backup strategy I’m relying on rclone and restic.
