Too expensive given the app.
S3/Google give around 2 cents/GB a month (lower for cold storage) but you also get to access it through the web... what's the benefit with this?
- dillonmckay 7y agohttps://rsync.net/resources/howto/snapshots.html https://rsync.net/resources/howto/snapshots.html You get 7 free snapshots that do not count against your quota. Additional snapshots are charged based on the byte diffs, not total size. It uses a standard protocol and anything that uses ssh can conceivably communicate with it. Oh, and you are not charged for transfer.
- sdan 7y agoNice. Interesting option.
- snthpy 7y agoHow is this sort of thing not abused? Say I generate logs at say 1 GB/hr and store them in files named `logs.$(date +%Y%m%dT%H)` and I have it set up to take snapshots every 4 hours and delete files older than 5 hours, then I could have essentially unlimited storage and only ever pay for 5 GB/month?
