Did you try backblaze.com yet?
- segfaultbuserr 7y agoI think any cloud solution is limited by the broadband uplink. It takes 24 hours to upload "only" 200 GiB of data over a 20 Mbps uplink. It's fine for longterm backup that literally nobody touches unless the computer breaks, but one still has to be patient enough to backup a RAID array...
- throw0101a 7y agoBackblaze has a service where they ship you a disk pack, you back up to the unit, and then ship it back: * https://www.backblaze.com/b2/solutions/datatransfer/fireball.html https://www.backblaze.com/b2/solutions/datatransfer/fireball...
- segfaultbuserr 7y agoGreat to hear that, thanks for the comment.
- seized 7y agoNote that's for B2, their S3 like service that is paid for per GB. It doesn't apply to their unlimited tier they are more known for.
- criddell 7y agoYou could also change your internet service to something reasonable for a month or two until your initial backup is complete.
- vorpalhex 7y agoIt's the consumer upload pipe that's the issue, and it's very likely there's no higher upload available. I've literally tried to throw money at the local ISPs and the best I can get is ~35mbs/up despite having about a half gig down.
- criddell 7y agoOh wow. At my house in Austin I have AT&T fiber and get 1 gpbs up and down with no caps for $60 / month. I use BackBlaze to backup up my NAS and it works great.
- vorpalhex 7y agoAT&T is technically an option, but since their "pay for privacy" debacle[1] and terrible support that somehow makes Spectrum appear caring, I'd rather burn my money for warmth then give it to them.

- sliken 7y agoDid you ask if you can go onsite and leave something overnight to finish the upload?
