Tarsnap works out as ~6$/GB/year for me. That’s for a mostly managed backup service. The only thing missing is snapshot pruning which is slow and a bit of pain due to the way tarsnap’s cache works. Restore is on par with restoring from tape — reliable but slow, but who can really complain about how fast disaster recovery is?
Raw managed storage with rsync.net is 0.18$/GB/year.
Do it all yourself, with the associated peril and time sink that entails, and the disks will cost you 0.04$/GB/replica.
Tarsnap has its place and I’m still a happy customer, but it’s one small part of a wider strategy that includes bulk storage elsewhere — rsync.net with borgbackup and plain rsync, on premises ZFS dumpsters, and offsite drives used like they are tapes.
- major--neither 5y agoon https://rsync.net/pricing.html https://rsync.net/pricing.html it says 2.5 cents per GB per month. so 0.33$/GB/year. i have 700G so it would cost me ~ $230/year (and you have to buy a min of 400G) microsoft onedrive is $70 for 1TB and you don't pay for bandwidth. can use rclone. you get some other goodies too (office) which i don't use but i'd imagine it's a nice to have for some people.
