The same old question but search hasn't brought me yet (at least no recent) recommendation catered to my set of needs here.
I thinking heavily about splitting my hoarding stash actually to make maintenance of it easier. I backuped heavily some years ago a lot of YT-Videos (Lets Plays, Political Shows, Lore Videos, documentations and such a stuff, primarly for saving content before it may vanish (and some has already vanished), also old Minecraft Savegames who took a lot of space but necessary also for server maintenance (sudden discoveries of corrupted biomes make it good to a have a lot of rollback alternatives). As well general system backups who provide some redundancy about my personal data. And preperations for having a "off-grid" old media library (especially GOG Game Files in case they close the platform or changing their NO-DRM-Policy). All of them have in common they are mostly cold storage I have touched rarely the last couple of years, if even. But I like to have them around somewhere in case of need.
The same time a have developed quite a paranoia about dataloss so I thought about uploading them to a cloud provider to ease this and also to reduce the effort I need to put in physical backups (and shelf space) at least for this stuff. To focus more on the stuff I at least occasionally directly use.
The files I want to upload are already neatly packed in encrypted containers with each varying between 10 - 60 GB max in total it should be something between 16 - 20 TB. I don't think I will need to download one of them more than once per year even more rarely so I need no quick-access but the ability of having an overview of every single container I upload in the backend and also the option to gain access to a single one of them instead of having to download all of my data in an instant. And may also to add more occasionally.
The service should be reliable (no history of disappearing stuff, closing business out of nowhere and with no option to retrieve the data before like MEGAs predecessor had done) and as cheap as possible regarding no quick access needed to keep the maintanence cost preferably low.
Any recommendations for 2025?
