I've been using Backblaze B2 since it launched, and HashBackup (I'm the author) was one of the first B2 integrations.
What I like most about B2 is the transparent, no gimmick pricing. No monthly minimum, no minimum file size, no paying for storage for 90 days after you delete a file. And they give generous free allowances: 10GB/mo (forever, with no credit card required), 1GB of free egress per day, and up to 5000 free transactions per day.
I backup the HashBackup dev server to B2 every night, around 80GB with mostly VM images, and the total backup size while keeping the last 30 days + 12 monthly backups is around 50 GB and costs 25 cents/month. They bill me every few months, I guess when enough charges accumulate.
Here are the backup stats for the HashBackup dev server:
