Backblaze is one option.
Backblaze would work great for me, if I didn't have a 1TB monthly ISP data cap. So, to keep my backups, I have duplicate local drives.
I'd say backblaze too but depending upon how frequently you need to do a full backup and how your ISP / net connection company treats you, there might be better alternatives.
Keep in mind with Backblaze you can't use their standard unlimited plan with a NAS, you have to use their B2 service which has pricing based on the amount of data. See their webpage for more details, here's an excerpt - B2 is only $0.005/GB per month for data storage and only $0.01/GB to download data. https://www.backblaze.com/business-nas-backup.html and https://help.backblaze.com/hc/en-us...y-don-t-you-backup-network-drives-NAS-drives-
I have been using Backblaze unlimited for a few years on my server with Windows 10 and the drives in my sig, have about 31TB Backed up with them currently. I find uploads bounce around 150-300mbit, I'm in Massachusetts.
I don't use the B2, I have a local file server with 16x internal drives using Windows 10. I pay $60/year flat. With a NAS, you cannot use the unlimited product.So with the B2 service, what have you been paying per month to upload that much data?

Edit: If I were, it would be like $155/mo to have that much uploaded with them, and double that if I ever needed to download it.
Time to snatch up some wd easystores from best buy and just do local backups then. This was a contributing factor to why I avoided a nas.Doesn't sound like any of them are going to work for me.
OP may actually find value in setting up a whole windows pc with drives to mirror the nas, and then use backblaze unlimited on the server (I think it needs to run regular windows not windows server,) and it ends up being cheaper after a few years. Then you have also got 3 copies of the data, which is the ideal amount.I have never seen unlimited cheap backup for NAS, they always push you into business solutions. The cheapest is BackBlaze B2 by far, way better pricing than Amazon and MS. But at those prices, within a year you already spent as much as buying a second set of driving and having a whole mirror local backup would cost. This is why I stuck with Windows as main OS and used storage spaces instead of FreeNAS and ZFS. With WIndows, I back up 110TB for $10 a month on regular BackBlaze.

Cost and data cap issues aside, large amounts of data in the cloud is a no go for most users simply for the amount of time it would take to upload that amount of data (or to even download it again for restoral).
My ISP has started offering an "unlimited data" option that eliminates the data cap for "only" an additional $40 per month.
