My home upload speed is 3mbps.
I make weekly image backups on top of my increment file backups. The images are ~800GB and 200GB. Additionally, I have a ~1TB media collection.
Uploading the images to Backblaze weekly is clearly unfeasible. Restoring from old images in the event of a failure would be extremely time consuming.
Therefore, I have a 14 TB NAS that should last me a long, long while and also serves as a Plex media server. To lose data I really care about requires that four drives / two computers fail or my house burns down. I am willing to accept that risk.

- Amezarak 11y agoThe images are Windows Backup vhdx's, so I'm not sure that's possible. It isn't really worth my time to investigate - it happens automatically on a schedule and over a gigabit LAN it goes fast enough and neither the performance of the computer nor the NAS are noticeably impacted. In an ideal world, Windows would just use ZFS, but hey, you can't have everything. ;)
