I found restic is a prety cool alternative. (No hosting though, I am sending restic backups to a private server/vps)

yep it's what i'm using right now

restic, and my own computers and storage, and the occasional rented device (VPS or similar, typically)

i find that the hassle of setting up my stuff is still preferable than having to worry about managing bills, subscriptions, and third parties just changing their policies

Same but with rustic because I found it used significantly less memory.

Is it stable? I've been using restic for a while, and I'm interested in rustic, but I have no idea how stable it is overall. Obviously it's still in beta so I won't use it in prod but curious what others experiences have been like.

I'd say its stable. It's one of those projects that's in perennial beta.

+1 for restic

Restic + rclone is a very nice combo. Works really well.

Curious why use both? I use restic directly with B2 backblaze, whats rclone doing for you here?

I use restic + rclone to back up to onedrive, where I have 1TB space included with my subscription.

My main backups are on rsync.net, though.
