I back up about 15tb of photos with Arq to Wasabi cloud storage.
It has been running with zero maintenance (other than occasional partial restores) since late 2018.
I transitioned off of AWS cloud storage when they raised the prices.
I’m not sure if Wasabi is still the cheapest and fastest, but they have been great to deal with. And Arq is an excellent set-it-and-forget-it encrypted cloud backup app.
I also run a server with a 16tb RAID 1 array and a set of local backup drives. Sadly it is almost full, and the volume of data makes it a hassle to upgrade (not to mention the cost).
I’ve found standard 1Gig Ethernet to be just barely fast enough for editing photos over the local network. However, for my own sanity, I usually do the initial editing on a local drive before sending the files to the server (and from there to the cloud backup).
