I have very positive feelings about Backblaze. Once the initial backup
is made you set the controls to automatic and subsequent backups occur
automatically and slowly in the background, and with no noticeable
effects on the computer or network. It took 3 weeks to upload 2TB.

Oh no! Amazon have killed "Music in the cloud" for me. This is really
terrible. I had setup my NAS to sync my music files to the cloud - all
was great.
Now they changed the game, no more unlimited and I would have to pay 180

So it seems they restricted everyone by default to prevent impact to
browsing experience and general connectivity whilst uploading. They seem
to have somewhat overcooked the throttling if it went to less than 10%

I use Dropbox for backing up my music database which is about 1Tb /

Testing hubiC at the moment. 25GB free and it works with rclone. Their
largest plan is 10TB, which works for me for now, so I just might go for
it.
rclone developer is hopeful that he can work things out with Amazon.
So this is why I used "dar". Keep a local metadata copy and I can run
differential backups against the metadata to upload as a tarball (um,
darball) without having to keep the data local too.

If I understand the situation correctly (and I'm not sure that I do)
rclone's developer had to work with Amazon to get the app approved, but
Amazon banned it without warning

I am using Amazon Drive and have about 2 TB music on there, it is great
I can use it to stream music on the go using CloudBeats, plus I have an

Yes it takes long to upload at first, but afterwards it is worth it.

That is why I went with a virtual tape type thing. Stage the backups to
