Hello,
I am looking for recommendations for a service provider of immutable backup that has options for a homelab user.
My research has led me to services with expensive options, or no pricing at all unless you ask for a quote.
Thank you

BorgBase allows for append-only backups.
Thanks, from another link in this thread, Borg seems to have wrapper options as a complement to its features.
Backblaze B2 has the option: https://www.backblaze.com/docs/cloud-storage-object-lock
Cheap storage too.
Thanks for the information, I will look into that.
I use backblaze storage with Kopia, which supports using object lock. Every time a backup is made the objects for it are locked for a configurable amount of time. I use 30 days, so an attacker would have to compromise my backup software for a month before being able to erase my backups.
I like the thought of having timed backups to keep the costs lower by pruning the olds backups.
Also only differences are stored, so if your files don’t change much each backup costs very little. I keep hundreds of backups for the previous year of changes, and it uses less than double the amount of storage the files take up. You can also enable compression, which I do, so it’s even smaller.
How much data are we talking about?
A free mega.nz account should be fine for everything except family fotos and legally obtained music/movies.
Photos was part of my plan, so mega.nz isn’t an option. Thanks for the suggestion though.
Restic or Borg on your side, a safe and remote destination on the other side.
use restic, with backrest web GUI, and cannot be happier.
As for remote site, I use a remote machine I rent, but there are plenty of providers around, shop a bit… Or find a friend for reciprocal backup?
My plan is to build a second server that I will leave at my inlaws’ house and use that, but for now, I will rent a cloud while this happens.
Thats perfect
