Best cloud storage for large data amounts

I recently started a plex server and have been adding a lot of media as you do, but I'd like to back it up just in case my hard drives crash I'm currently sitting at about around 2.5 TB but in total between my uncle and I we have about 20-30 TB of media. I'd like to have it all backed up in the cloud, I'm not opposed to paying for the service obviously I'd like it to be as cheap as possible. I remember Linus doing a ad for backblaze a while back and they claimed to have unlimited storage but I'm just curious to hear what you all use.

I have no use for cloud storage, myself, but I've heard great things about backblaze, not just from LTT.

I have heard about Backblaze. It is great!

I would suggest that you should try to use Duplicati, CrashPlan, CloudBerry Backup, Carbonite or the paid services for cloud by RackWare if you want more solid data protection. There are many data storage options available but, using a trusted and reputed platform will be a better way. You should also regularly backup your data to avoid data loss as it can cause you a great loss.
Hope, this advice will help you.

Stay away from CrashPlan! It is overpriced, poorly designed and documented, slow, erratic, unreliable, and their customer service agents are idiots.

As long as anyone is oppressed, no one will be safe and free.

One has to be proactive, not reactive, to ensure the safety of one's data so backup your data! And RAID is NOT a backup!
