  • I use aws s3 deep archive storage class, $0.001 per GB per month. But your upload bandwidth really matters in this case, I only have a subset of the most important things backed up this way otherwise it would take months just to upload a single backup. Using rclone sync instead of just uploading the whole thing each time helps but you still have to get that first upload done somehow…

    I have complicated system where:

    • borgmatic backups happen daily, locally
    • those backups are stored on a btrfs subvolume
    • a python script will make a read-only snapshot of that volume once a week
    • the snapshot is synced to s3 using rclone with --checksum --no-update-modtime
    • once the upload is complete the btrfs snapshot is deleted

    I’ve also set up encryption in rclone so that all the data is encrypted an unreadable by aws.
