I finally got the dreaded over storage warning from google today. What is everyone moving to these days? People were moving to dropbox advance but i heard its not really unlimited anymore. I have 30TB of data that can’t be reproduced (family videos and photos). Any recommendations? I prefer not to spend $100+ a month on backups but if i have to do it then i’ll do it.

    Build A NAS, and AWS Glacier for the very important data. I think AWS is less expensive than BackBlaze

      AWS Glacier will be cheaper until you need to restore the data. On AWS, you’ll pay $0.09/GB for bandwidth + Glacier retrieval fees. Over time, AWS might be cheaper but you’ll be looking at a $3000+ bill to restore 30 TB.

        That’s a good point. Which provider should I go for, for about 15TB?

          The cheapest option I’ve found is Hetzner storage boxes, they don’t even charge for bandwidth. Backblaze and Wasabi are good options too, but Backblaze charges for outbound bandwidth and Wasabi is increasing their prices.

            That’s a fantastic find. If someone could limit the ultra important media/assets to 1TB, this is fairly affordable. And no transfer fees too!
