Simple inexpensive cloud backup? (lemy.lol)

My goal is to to fully ditch Google Photos for Immich. I have about ~3TB of photos and videos. Looking for a super simple way of backing up the library to cloud storage in case of a drive failure without spending a ton.

Ideally, this will require nothing on my part besides copying files into a given folder. And ideally the storage will be encrypted and have basic privacy assurances.

Also if it matters my home server is running Debian. But I'd prefer something that runs in docker so I can more easily check on it remotely.

Backup software of your choice pointed at the Immich library

Any recommendations? Preferably something something with a homeassistant integration or docker container with webui so I can more easily access it remotely. New to all this.

    Looks like it does have a container option! $100/year for Backblaze computer backup is above what I was hoping to spend but it's unlimited and I'm looking for a set it and forget it option so I'll probably do exactly that, thank you.

    There's a plan where you pay some tiny amount per gb. Thats the one to use.

    This is what I did, only I set it up such that my family’s computers are backing up to my large external drive, and this drive is connected to the computer with the unlimited BB running and backing up. Just to get a little more benefit out of the cost.

    I use restic to backup immich (and everything else) to b3.

    Be sure to stop the docker container while you backup to avoid skew.

    Backblaze saved my ass at the end of last year when I had a hardware failure.
