Has anyone done a pricing comparison between borgbase, rsync.net, AWS S3, and Wasabi for offsite borgbackup storage?

  We try to stay current and competitive with pricing - currently at 1.5 cents/GB/month for the discounted, "no support"[1] "borg accounts": https://www.rsync.net/products/borg.html https://www.rsync.net/products/borg.html What is s3 these days ? 2.x cents ? Plus traffic ? We don't charge for traffic/usage/bandiwdth in any way ... [1] You do get technical support, just not specific support for setting up your borg backups, which can be fairly complicated ...

    I (sadly) moved from you guys to Backblaze, as they're down at $0.005 (ie. 0.5 cents) per GB. They will charge me (1 cent/GB) if I have to restore the backup, but this is my extreme off-site everything-blew-up-including-the-backups-closer-to-me backup, so, hopefully that won't eventuate.

      We will always be more expensive than B2, Wasabi, et. al. You're not ever going to get immediate, personal technical support from a UNIX engineer at those services like you do at rsync.net.

        Fair enough. I still use and like your service for a second off-site backup of ~40GB of very very important stuff, but was unable to ignore the cost savings for bulk data.
