I finally got the dreaded over storage warning from google today. What is everyone moving to these days? People were moving to dropbox advance but i heard its not really unlimited anymore. I have 30TB of data that can’t be reproduced (family videos and photos). Any recommendations? I prefer not to spend $100+ a month on backups but if i have to do it then i’ll do it.
Cold storage is enough. Most of the data are pictures and videos that i don’t access regularly. I was looking at Hetzner but it looks like most of the servers are in the EU. I’m based out of the US so i’m guessing file transfer would be slow. I also don’t have experience with Hetzner but if they are reputable then i don’t have an issue with going down that route.
Yep, it’s EU. File transfer shouldn’t be bad if your files are large, though it’s best if you tested it first—it might depend on your ISP’s peering and your prefered transfer protocols/tooling. Whether it’s reputable for your purpose, you probably have to do your own research. Also, remember that the offer I mentioned would only be equivalent in durability to a single-box RAID5 for your purposes, so not exactly equivalent to Google’s.
