I want to upload a massive, already-encrypted backup of my files.

I've been searching forever for a cloud-storage provider that doesn't pointlessly encrypt it again and thus cause the upload to take days instead of hours.

Does anyone know of such a service?

A separate hard disk?

Point is to be remote/off site.

Any reason for it to be remote? Or do you just want it to be available online?

In case the house burns down... Removing the single point of failure.

Which cloud storage providers encrypt? That is almost never a default.

I've heard good things about rsync

Guess I just need to rent a server and ssh into it. Really just wanted some dumb service like icloud where I could pay money and upload enormous files to it once a month or so for redundancy.

They all insist on doing clever stuff that I don't need.

Got to be an improvement on N-Sync… I’ll get my coat.

What about something like Backblaze or idrive? Not sure about the encryption part

i mean

isnt this what an external HDD is for?

Off-site back up.

Most of those services just use Amazon S3 on the back-end anyway, so might as well just use that? Or a cheap compatible clone.

I use rclone to upload to object store on linode but it'd work with any s3 compatible service.

I have a NAS at home running TrueNAS Scale, and it uploads and encrypted copy of my data to Dropbox for off-site back up. I don't like Dropbox, but it's been working for me for a year or two.

Another option is to put another computer at a friend of family member's house and backup to that over Tailscale (which is incredible).
