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

      Thanks, from another link in this thread, Borg seems to have wrapper options as a complement to its features.

        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.

            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.

    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?
