How would or do you backup your home server? I don’t have enough physical storage (for now) at home to store some backups, so I want to upload it to the cloud. Of course I want the backup to be encrypted, but I don’t want to enter the password every time by server does a backup. I am currently using borg on my PC and do it manually. How do I create a encrypted backup without entering the key manually? Do I hardcode it somewhere? Don’t really like that. I am also fine with trying other backup software.
I’d calculate your total cost then, and figure out ingress and egress costs depending on the provider. Cloudflare with R2 is the only “cloud” storage service I’m aware of that doesn’t charge for either right now. They may in the future so check out your costs.
Hetzner doesn’t either for their storage boxes. They support Borgbackup, restic, rclone, SFTP, FTPS, WebDAV and SMB.
Most storage VPSes will include a decent amount of traffic per month.
