Simple inexpensive cloud backup? (lemy.lol)

My goal is to to fully ditch Google Photos for Immich. I have about ~3TB of photos and videos. Looking for a super simple way of backing up the library to cloud storage in case of a drive failure without spending a ton.

Ideally, this will require nothing on my part besides copying files into a given folder. And ideally the storage will be encrypted and have basic privacy assurances.

Also if it matters my home server is running Debian. But I'd prefer something that runs in docker so I can more easily check on it remotely.

Hetzner Storage Box Costa 3,81€ per month for 1TB and you can acess it via SSH or WebDav.

Hetzner will increase their prices by April, still a good value

Another +1 for Hetzner.

I did an initial backup of my music (so I wasn't concerned about encryption) with plain old rsync to get a feel for the system first, do a restore, etc. to feel comfortable with it all - and see if there were any hidden costs.

Then I wiped all that and moved over to rclone to encrypt my data into different chunks (photos, music, work, etc)

It all worked well and they even skipped charging me 1 month becuase I hadn't exceeded their minimum charge (rolls up to the following month)

I've had proactive emails from them notifying me of work which might have reduced my ability to access their system, but ad it was outside the time of my backups, then no issue.

+1 for Hetzner Storage Boxes, even thought with the general increase in pricing for hardware I don't know how long they'll be able to keep them so cheap.

To back up the data automatically, I use BackRest (it's a nice web interface that uses restic under the hood).
