I have a storage system (ZFS) at home that is approaching 90% utilization so I am looking to archive about 5TB of data that I almost never access. I am interested in paying for a service, rather than building/upgrading on-site systems.
My goals are:
This is how I imagine a perfect solution, if only there was a service that sold it
My goals are:
- Very low price that is comparable to building/upgrading a storage server
- Speed is not a concern, minimum requirement is about 50-100KBps of bandwidth and I/O doesn't matter at all
- The data needs to be online and accessible over standard protocols (either NFS, SSH/SFTP, FTP, etc). No proprietary apps (unless you can convince me)
- All my data needs to be backed up with at least 2 copies. So either this cloud service should have a "backup to the backup" feature, or I need to pay for 2 independant services.
This is how I imagine a perfect solution, if only there was a service that sold it
- Cloud instance running Linux and SFTP server
- Tape storage (for cheaper price) - Pay as I go
- Filesystems are always online and mounted
