I’ve been using Kopia to backup my Windows work machine, Linux personal computer, and my wife’s Macbook.

Right now, It is just backing up to my NAS, but I would like to have it backup to a cloud solution.

I figured I would get some S3 storage somewhere and point Kopia at that to make the backup. I do not need a lot of space. I think 500gb would be enough. I do not want costs to be too high.

Do I have the right plan, or is there a better option?

Thanks in advance.

    I’m using Kopia with AWS S3 for about 400GB and it runs a bit less than $4/mo. If you set up a .storageconfig file it will allow you to set a storage level based on the file names. Kopia conveniently makes the less frequently accessed files begin with “p” so you can set them to the “infrequently accessed” level while files that are accessed more often stay in standard storage:

    {
  "blobOptions": [
    {
      "prefix": "p",
      "storageClass": "STANDARD_IA"
    },
    {
      "storageClass": "STANDARD"
    }
  ]
}
