Ask HN: Online backup recommendations

by ryeguy_24 on 2/21/2025, 4:58:09 PM with 2 comments
I've been using Crash Plan for years but price has crept up quite a bit to $30 a month for my 1.7TB of online backup. Plus I really don't like the user interface. Everything is clunky. I was thinking about just using Apple Cloud Drive but that doesn't truly backup (in the event that I delete a folder accidentally). Any recommendations for good online backup providers that won't break the bank?

    I use Backblaze B2 with restic and some scripting.
