Encrypted cloud backup options

[MTIT]

Looking for Opinions on the different cloud backups for TrueNAS. I see there are multiple options like Amazon S3, Azure, Backblaze B2, Box, and Google Cloud Storage. Has anyone done a comparison on the different options? Does anyone know if Synology Cloud is an option?

Thanks

I mean, generically you have three broad options:

1. Blob storage via S3 or similar, be it from Amazon or someone else
2. File storage
3. zfs send/recv

They all have pros and cons. Blob storage tends to be cheaper and clunkier. File storage gets messy once you start encrypting stuff. ZFS send/recv with native encryption and encrypted send makes for a very convenient solution, but you need someone who speaks ZFS and who supports encrypted sends, which I think it's rsync.net and few others.

You can give iX-StorJ a try for distributed and encrypted blob storage - 25GB to start with for free, and $4/TB/mo. There's also a 5TB/1-year "starter package" available.

@Ericloewe could you pls elaborate a bit more on : by messy u mean?

I found this one ... but not sure about how realiable is it?

zfs.rent

thanks

Well, messy as in "you need to develop or otherwise acquire the necessary tooling and it will not be particularly elegant". Though I think TarSnap sold such a service, with real encryption instead of "trust me bro" encryption.

Never heard of them, sounds like a very small operation, for better and for worse.
