Jottacloud offers unlimited (in reality after 5TB they start slowing your upload speed to them) with a cli, or rclone + restic support.
It's worth noting that for most uses the throttling doesn't matter up to about 16TB, where you hit a harsh inflection point.

This. I use B2 to backup my NAS and it costs me a couple dollars a month. 5TB will cost you $25/month. The only way I know to go cheaper is Glacier “deep archive” storage which is roughly $1/TB, but a pain to manage, access time is measured in hours and it might cost 100x more in egress fees to download it all.
Depending on your access patterns, Wasabi ( https://wasabi.com/cloud-storage-pricing/ ) could be cheaper, since they charge more $5.99/TB, but don't charge for egress ($0.01/GB at B2) or API calls ("GetObject" at $0.004 per 10,000 at B2).
Interesting. I had not heard of restic, yet. My default backup choice has been borg[1] for a long time, so borgbase.com was a natural choice for off-site backups for me. They make Vorta a decent GUI client for borg - that's how I found out about them. Can someone here give a comparison of borg and restic by any chance? [1]: https://www.borgbackup.org/
Borg supports local and SFTP backups while Restic supports more (a lot more). S3, Google Cloud, B2, etc. In fact, they integrate with rclone so anything you can access using rclone, you can backup to using Restic. Borg uses compression while Restic does not. Restic just uses deduplication so your backups with Restic will likely be larger in size. Anyway, that's what jumps to mind. They're both pretty great honestly (…
6 computers backing up using UrBackup client to a 6 drive 2U NAS running Raid Z2 and UrBackup server (which is nice as it stores incremental backups as ZFS child datasets).
I then have a post backup script which creates a snapshot of the latest backup, mounts it, backs up using Restic using the JottaCloud rclone backend.
Speaking of this, does anyone know about any local backups for Linux with a nice GUI? I turned into a GNOMie and don't want to spend time with commandline options to figure it out. I tried APTIK but it flat out didn't work.

I like Arq https://www.arqbackup.com/ They were only an app back in the day, which backed up to any object store you chose. Although now they are trying the saas way of things too.
My problem: I just want to back up 5 terabytes. It's on an external SSD, used for photos. Backblaze has forgotten how to count terabytes at all, preferring to play games about how I need to have it attached and for how long, so people don't play games with their "unlimited" offering. "Did you plug in the external drive to a computer, and leave the computer on for 24 hours without it going to sleep, and reattach the d…
Off topic but what is the cheapest object storage service for less than 1 TB of data?
Would be cool to back this to decentralized cloud storage (should be pretty easy to do via Storj S3 integration): https://docs.storj.io/dcs/getting-started/quickstart-aws-sdk... Or even Restic directly: https://docs.storj.io/dcs/how-tos/backup-with-restic/
I love the usability of Google Drive (being able to access / make files offline whenever I want), but the Mac update started to force me to upload all my files, which I don't want to do, as the files are not encrypted.
