Hey HN,
I'm trying to pick a tool that will require little work on my part, and will safely and affordably backup my personal files. That's photos, documents, movies, and all other sorts of stuff I might have accumulated over many years of being a computer user / hoarder.
The requirements are:
* I would store around 10 TB of data, of all types of files, but mostly made of RAW photos.
* Everything is in one place
* Everything is stored in the cloud, with some pretty high guarantees or the data not being lost
Some options I've used / considered:
* Dropbox - not that much space, but overall pretty convenient, even though it's not clear how easy it is to lose files in it if you accidentally delete something
* Backblaze - infinite space, but you have to have your external drives plugged in every 30 days to prevent it from deleting those files, which is a hassle
* Arq + S3/Glacier/B2 - more manual effort, and also could get more expensive, e.g. $40/mo at 10TB for storage alone. Also experienced some corruption issues in buggy past versions of Arq.
Please advise.
