Looking for non-US cloud storage. The more paranoid the better!
You must log in or register to comment.
Syncthing for synchronization between devices, then rsync to a couple of flash drives for cold backup.
The setup is so easy, you don’t even need a server for this, just your ordinary PC.
There is no more paranoid solution than owning your files on the devices you own as well, so you never have to trust the third party.
Additionally, clunky all-in-one self-hosted solutions like Nextcloud bind you to their ecosystem, so it may be hard for you to switch to another one.
Just a plain file backup to your own storage will always be a savior for your lost data, regardless of third party apps or infrastructure.
What about hetzner storeagebox? https://www.hetzner.com/de/storage/storage-box/ with client side encryption ? It’s cheap and reliable, supports all common file transfer methods - the encryption can and likely should anyway be done by your preferred backup tool?
Others have suggested: encrypt data on your side and you don’t need to worry about where you store it. Cryptomator is a good option.
As for storage, the feedback on Hetzner boxes seems to be good and i’m happy with mega.Just use client-side encryption, then it doesn’t matter where it goes
Kopia is great for this. Choose your encryption, built in support for different provider storage tyoes in the GUI to choose where to go, dedupe, folder structure scramble, etc…
But their flatpak hasn’t been updated in ages…
Not pricey, e2ee clients, open source, servers in Germany, 10gb free tier to try them out. Been using them for a few years now. The clients used to be a bit crap but they’re very good now.
I can recommend Hetzner Storage Boxes. The company is located in Germany, but you can choose server locations in Germany and in Finland. You can set it up with Rclone’s Crypt feature to encrypt all your files.
TIL rclone can encrypt. Storage box also supports borg if someone prefers. Borg is cool. It also deduplicates the archive saving a lot of space.
Then don’t go to the cloud! (or use encrypted storage if you really have to)
My view: Unless I can access the hardware 24/7/365 the data isn’t mine for ‘they’ can deny me access to my data anytime while they keep full access. (hence store it decryped)
A hard drive in a PO Box; data encrypted. Retrieve it occasionally to sync it with your local storage.
