Another vote for Arq if what the OP wants is backup. This lets you pick and switch storage providers. I don't think you should plan on staying with any provider for more than 2-3 years, the landscape changes too fast. Arq lets you be independent.
- copperx 11y agoAren't the backups now dependent on (1) the storage provider and (2) the Arq software developer? You lose Arq, you lose your backups.
- tfe 11y agoThe format Arq uses is open and documented, so that you can restore without having Arq if necessary: https://www.arqbackup.com/s3_data_format.txt https://www.arqbackup.com/s3_data_format.txt And there are tools to help: http://sreitshamer.github.io/arq_restore/ http://sreitshamer.github.io/arq_restore/
- m_eiman 11y agoThe format of the backups is specified, so making a replacement should be possible if needed: https://www.arqbackup.com/s3_data_format.txt https://www.arqbackup.com/s3_data_format.txt
