For a while I have stored my backups in S3. It's around 3 TB of data.

I'm looking forwards to a secondary service for a second back up.

Don't need fancy or GUI stuff, just the ability to upload from Linux CLI and/or API, with preferably a sync tool (think "aws s3 sync"), and an online tool to watch what's in it.

Any suggestions for places that aren't mega dodgy or do any kind of tracking? EU preferred too.

@derickr I use rsync.net. It's a place you can rsync data over SSH. That's it, that's the service. Schedule it yourself with cron, etc. By far the cheapest service as of when I was reviewing options a few years ago.

I don't know if they have EU data centers, though.

@Crell looks like they are in Zurich, so not quite EU.

@derickr @Crell Does the location matter if it's encrypted (how it should be)? I'm also using rsync.net (via BorgBackup in their Zürich location).

@timwolla @Crell Not much. Latency. But just don't want stuff in the US.

@derickr @Crell rsync.net would be a US company. Hetzner's Storage Boxes (as mentioned elsewhere in the thread) would provide an equivalent service of "SSH-accessible ZFS filesystem" in Germany.

I just can't use Hetzner for backups, as I host my services at Hetzner and thus wouldn't have provider-redundancy for backups (e.g. for cases where the customer account is closed down or so).
