Backup my backup, where and how?

I have a home NAS running TrueNAS SCALE, some files are super important for me and I want to back up to remote server. But I require some help with the where and how. 

First of all, I prefer free service, I just don't have any available funds right now and I really want these files safe(r)

Second, I need 100GB, again, for now, if the service is easy to setup and use I will buy more if needed. 

Third, I prefer to be able to create a tasks on my NAS to sync the files weekly to the remote server. 

 

Thanks for the help and happy passover 🙂

If you compress the data, it'll take (way!) less then 100GB of storage. Encrypting it makes it safe(r) for storage on public servers, but increases the size. Use the tar command on any Linux distro (including TrueNAS Scale) to create a compressed file for your data.

 

HTH!

There is no such thing as "free".  Some how, some way, they will try to get your money.

That cracked me up. 😆

 

As others have pointed out, you really should be carefull when someone is giving you something for "free".


Anyways if you are brave enough to put your trust in Oracle:

Oh and I am pretty sure Oracle requires you to leave them your credit card info, so if you end up billed xxxx $ because you overlooked something... you are on your own.
Good luck.

I ended up setting Backblaze bucket with 100GB limit, I guess I'll eat less now.
