minus-squareel_abuelo@programming.devlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·14 hours agoS3 seems like a really expensive way to backup personal data. Are you doing it to achieve the offsite backup? I currently dont have an offsite and im weighing up having a NAS at my parents place.
minus-squareGreenKnight23@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·14 hours agoS3 is within my budget, but it can get expensive. and yes it’s my off site. if I had someplace else I could trust like you mentioned I might do that but it’s just too much data to send. my gitlab backups are around 80gb.
minus-squareTangent5280@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·14 hours agoHey have you considered lakefs based solutions for backups? I think you can set the retention rules up so that only backups upto so many months are retained and the rest are removed. That way only the diff in the backup files need to be uploaded.
