I’ve been backing up to a dedicated hard disk within the same server for all my backups in case my disks fail. And as I run more and more services, the concern of disks failures grow bigger.

I’m looking for a cheapish off-site backup solution and I’m just curious what everyone does for their 3-2-1 backup solutions.

    I use S3 sync via the cli and use lifecycle policies to manage number of snapshots and deletion.

    Some cool options for moving files to different tiers like cold and glacier but I don’t know enough about it or the retrieval costs to use it just yet

      Take a look at intelligent tiering for a good no-frills solution! Each item automatically determines its tier based on how often you access it.
