Kopia: Open-Source, Fast and Secure Open-Source Backup Software

Where does one even acquire a VPS that makes this worth it? Most VPS pricing I've looked at is significantly more expensive than something like BackBlaze or IDrive. So what even is the point of rolling your own backups if you can't get cheap terrabytes in the cloud? And no I'm not going to consider something like S3 because Amazon's pricing is obnoxious and confusing.

AFAIK kopia has a S3 backend so can backup to idrive E2. That said I have a vps from greencloud with 2 TB (and 4 cores) for $80 a year which is very price competitive. There are actually lots of smaller vps providers that offer cheap storage vps. Lowendtalk.com is a good place to find out about offers in particular around black Friday.

I haven't tried it but it should work with Hetzner Storage Boxes over SFTP. Extremely price competitive.

S3 is the most expensive object storage; there are plenty of cheaper options like B2, Wasabi, or Coldline.
