Simple inexpensive cloud backup?

Simple inexpensive cloud backup? - lemy.lol

My goal is to to fully ditch Google Photos for Immich. I have about ~3TB of photos and videos. Looking for a super simple way of backing up the library to cloud storage in case of a drive failure. Ideally, this will require nothing on my part besides copying files into a given folder. And ideally the storage will be encrypted and have basic privacy assurances. Also if it matters my home server is running Debian.

Backblaze B3, backup software of your choice pointed at the Immich library. Photos get put into Immich, backup runs, data encrypted and saved offsite.

Any recommendations? Preferably something something with a homeassistant integration or docker container with webui so I can more easily access it remotely. New to all this.

I use restic to backup immich (and everything else) to b3.

Be sure to stop the docker container while you backup to avoid skew.

Backblaze saved my ass at the end of last year when I had a hardware failure.
