S3 is within my budget, but it can get expensive. and yes it's my off site.
if I had someplace else I could trust like you mentioned I might do that but it's just too much data to send.
my gitlab backups are around 80gb.
Hey have you considered lakefs based solutions for backups? I think you can set the retention rules up so that only backups upto so many months are retained and the rest are removed. That way only the diff in the backup files need to be uploaded.
I have not, I'll take a look. thanks.
