Looking at rsync.net's pricing system, I calculate that backing up 1TB of data would run about $25/mth. Do you consider that competitive for a home user just trying to backup his photos? I have considerably more--4TB, to be exact, so that seems really untenable to me.

2TB of google drive is $9.99 a month. What am I missing?

Google Drive isn't a backup system.

If it’s only photos and you’re a prime member, Amazon has unlimited space. I use them as a cold archive and copy my photos there each year.
