I was looking into the same issue myself too. I'm currently using a managed Nextcloud instance but was hoping to self-host it.
Backing up container volumes and configs seems like such a common problem, but surprisingly I haven't found a dedicated solution. I've considered borg, but restic seems like the best option so far. It can use any rclone backend, stores the data encrypted, and has snapshot support with deduplication.
Keep in mind that Backblaze does charge for downloading, modifying, uploading, and other file actions. If you don't want to pay for traffic you could also use a Hetzner storage box (1 TiB ~€4/m) with its dedicated restic backend.
Hm, after the initial upload, it shouldn't really generate much traffic if I can only manage to upload the diff, so it might not be much of an issue for me. I am not yet really familiar with tools like rsync and rclone, and also don't know how the changes are stored in the Borg repo (e.g. if I move a 1 GB file from one folder to another, does that get picked up as a 1 GB change by the syncing tools?), so I would need to do some more research to see if that would be achievable.
Hetzner also looks nicely priced, but it would've been nice if I could choose an even cheaper tier with less storage, as 1 TB is quite overkill for this particular use case. I could of course use it to backup other things.
