I have a 4TB Hard Drive attached to an OpenWRT router (Rasberry Pi's are also a popular choice). The router exposes a locked down SSH port (SFTP only) through a cheap $5 a month VPS. I also use Jottacloud [1] who provide unlimited (yes unlimited) storage for 7.5 EUR a month. Based in Norway, they keep an up to date warrant canary. Client side, I backup to both of these services using Duplicati [2] which offers client side encryption, block level deduplication and excellent integration with Jottacloud and SFTP. For synchronisation, I use Syncthing [3] since I don't want to expose plaintext documents to Jottacloud. All in all, I'm very pleased and it has required no maintainence since I set it up a year ago.

Jottacloud sounds interesting, how do you integrate with it, doesn't seem to offer any standard API's besides their own CLI.

  Not op but apparently he uses Duplicati to upload to jottacloud: https://duplicati.readthedocs.io/en/latest/05-storage-providers/#jottacloud https://duplicati.readthedocs.io/en/latest/05-storage-provid...

I just started experimenting with Syncthing because Dropbox no longer meets my needs. So far I'm pretty happy and impressed, it's a decentralized piece of software that Just Works (TM). My plan for backups is to spin up a VPS somewhere and have them back it up. I also love that it can use LAN; I can finally sync up my giant mp3 collection.

  +1 on syncthing. I have one on my computer, one one our Raspberry Mediabox (with a dedicated drive) and one on a dedicated VS. New version using inotify really helped the Pi !

  Syncthing is awesome. My main use of it is to share between my laptop and seedbox. Also if I want to share something with my friends in an unattended manner.
