I would like to use a cloud backup service on my home server. I am a complete beginner. I purchased a subscription for Proton Drive, but it looks like that just won’t work. Is there a secure cloud backup that works well on Linux? Bonus points if there’s a way to use proton drive. Extra bonus points, if I can set it up for automatic backups through a GUI.

    Any cloud is a secure backup on Linux if you use rclone crypt :)

    It works with Google Drive, Dropbox, One Drive, and countless others to create an encrypted cloud storage, where the cloud provider can never view your file contents.

    I personally use restic for local backups which then get synced with rclone into a Hetzner Storage Box.

    I’ve loved using Backblaze B2 buckets. Been using them for years and it’s very reasonable. Many different backup titles can use them.

    Maybe consider a Hetzner storage box. They support borg, restic, rsync and probably more, there’s no ingress or egress fees and you get unlimited traffic. Very nice for off-site backups if, like myself, you’re on a limited budget.

      I‘ve been using a Hetzner Storage Box with Kopia via SFTP and was able to completely saturate my 500 Mbit/s upload.
