  • storj

    Ongoing Storj v3 development. Decentralized cloud object storage that is affordable, easy to use, private, and secure.

  • Kopia is also an option. Very easy to use and has an intuitive config file to configure everything. Supports a decent amount of storages natively. Can use with rclone as well for more storage options. I use restic personally and works great. Paired with rclone and I backup to storj.io
