I have a laptop, phone and tablet. And a laptop at work too.
I’m trying not to keep any data on any of those devices. I have everything in three different cloud accounts. Each of my three cloud services have a different purpose.
I know cloud services are supposed to have lots of built in redundancy. But I’d still like to backup each of them 3 or 4 times a year.
I’ve heard of Amazon Glacier and something called Multcloud. I think I could probably use one of those to backup everything 3 or 4 times a year. Does anyone have any experience with those services? And do you know if once in a while they could copy everything to a hard drive and mail that to me?
Thanks,
Jeremy
Thanks, you’ve given me a lot to consider.
How often do you backup to physical media?
I don’t know of any public cloud provider that will do this for you. Pretty much all the players in that space make their money off egress fees so I’d be surprised to find anyone who would do that.
I don’t have experience with Amazon Glacier specifically, but I do use a service that utilizes the same S3 protocol (Storj.io). If you have a backup application that can talk using the S3 protocol then it’s simple. I use TrueNAS software to synchronize my data to the Storj service.
Backblaze has this service Order a USB Restore Drive for a charge.

Thanks for introducing me to Filen. It seems pretty good so far.

I am using the web interface to upload a big chunk of data to my Filen account.
Due to my internet speed, Filen is telling me that the upload will take several days.
Is there a pause/restart function if I want to shut my laptop down to take my laptop to another location (the office for example)?
