Keeping Backup Costs Down with B2? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

The BackBlaze personal page only lists Windows and Mac as supported. I have both, but also multiple Linux machines that I need to back up.

I'll check out Hetzner. I kept seeing B2 come up so started with researching it.

I'd suspect a zip could be problematic for incremental backups. Though that's not a bad idea for files that won't be changing regularly (photos, archives).

Keeping Backup Costs Down with B2? (lemmy.world)
 

I'm considering Restic and Backblaze B2 as my backup solution. I'm a little worried having read about the potential for unexpected restore costs. For example, I've read restoring lots of little files adds to the cost (reference). What are the things to look out for when backing up and restoring that can add to the cost? Are there any best practices to keep costs down?
