I’ve been playing around with the self hosted apps for quite a while and I got to the point where I’m happy about my local setup. Next step is to setup reliable offsite backup. I’m using borgbackup as a tool to manage my backups (so far only local backups). I’ve been looking for an affordable yet reliable service to store my backups. Is rsync.net worth it? According to the “internet” it’s a good service but wanted to double check. What do you think about it?
I’ve opened up the pricing page, and it seems it is much more expensive then their mainstream competitor Backblaze. For a terabyte of backup for a month, rsync.net would charge 1024*0.012 = 12$, while Backblaze would charge 6$. Hetzner Storage Box would be only 3.20$ (+better price scaling over terabytes).
What am I missing?

Check how you get your data out.
Sorry, I am a bit dense.
What do you mean exactly? As far as I understand you access the data the same way you have put it in - by using either one of ftp, scp, rsync or borg data transfer protocolls.
Some storage services will tax data separately on its way out, or limit the amount you can get out, or limit the speed at which you can get it out etc. Always check for egress conditions in the fine print.
