I've been hopping between idrive e2 plans to save money for my cloud backups (which I've never had to restore from). But this time, even with their discounts, it's just going to be too expensive to sustain.

I read that a Hetzner Storage Box might be a good option. It's relatively cheap ~$13 USD / 5tb a month (I'm in Canada, so currency conversion will make that higher).

They are located in Germany, and support Hyperbackup via Rsync.

I've never used their service, so I'm looking for feedback.

Edit: Thank you so much guys. Before my idrive e2 subscription ends, I'll be setting up a Storage Box!

Storage box networking can be hit and miss. It's ok for incremental uploads, but I went through hell and back to get the initial backup finish, which makes me wonder what it would take to download it in case I have to.

Scp breaks off once in a while, and WebDAV terminates the session. I didn’t try smb as I feel it's a rather weird protocol for the public internet. In the end, I figured it's not the networking per se, it's something with the timeouts on the remote, and I was able to finish the backup using a Hetzner-hosted server as a jumpbox.

But it's cheap, yeah.
