I’m considering Restic and Backblaze B2 as my backup solution. I’m a little worried having read about the potential for unexpected restore costs. For example, I’ve read restoring lots of little files adds to the cost (reference). What are the things to look out for when backing up and restoring that can add to the cost? Are there any best practices to keep costs down?
I’ll have to give that a look. I spun up immich to replace Google photos but I can’t fully switch over till I have them in a cloud backup. Everything else is config/docker files that are small.
Feel free to DM me if you have questions or encounter issues. I’m using restic + hetzner myself.
