Don't mind at all. ATM we're using a simple VMWare server backing up the virtual HDD every night, with a dirty hack thrown in (no full backups on weekends as that's when the bigger jobs run, so I dump the current day to a CSV on a smaller virtual HDD that's still saved daily). We're running on our own systems as our customers are pretty paranoid about where their data is sent. The history of this system is pretty organic, lots of experimentation. Started with Postgres, but that was too slow if a select statement returns tens of thousands of rows. MariaDB was way faster but became erratic once we passed about 2 billions of records. Now with SQLite we are at about 180 GB, about three years of data so far, so not really "big data" territory yet. Constantly looking for better alternatives. InfluxDB looks promising, but maybe we'll switch to a "hot/cold" approach instead, keeping whole "cold" days as JSON objects in JSONB fields in Postgres again while storing "hot" data in SQLite. We'll see... So far the system has been rock solid. In the last few weeks we went live for real, now storing about 2k records a second. Not a problem so far.
