Of course none of the Mac front ends to restic that I tried on my wife’s laptop would work with S3 compatible cloud storage. I’m going to try EazyBackup’s commercial thing on the assumption that I will at least work with EazyBackup’s S3 compatible cloud.

Pity, I like restic. Works great for this on my laptop (Arch, btw).

Since I had restic scripts that worked the way I like, and I installed Homebrew and restic on my wife's laptop yesterday…

I just adapted my scripts to her Mac and started a proper backup. Duh. I've also made a .plist so I can set it up to run every hour once the initial upload is done.

The terminal-notifier app doesn't currently work in 15.3 though. 🤷

@Taffer did you find an s3-compatible object storage service in Canada?

Public
Taffer 🇨🇦 :godot:

@kboyd I did! It's EazyBackup's E3: e3.eazybackup.com/

I've only used it with restic, but it's working well, and their support has been *fantastic*. No idea about speed, I've only got 50Mbps up-stream right now.

If I calculated correctly, storage for my < 2TB of backups will be roughly the same cost as Backblaze B2, which is much cheaper than S3.

@Taffer @kboyd ARQ backup supports S3 Compatible server. Wonder if that would support that.

@jerome @kboyd It might, depends on how flexible its S3 config is.

@Taffer @kboyd I'm just slightly nervous because eazybackup doesn't seem to have a lot of mention on reddit or google. How reliable and "stable" this company is to host my backups.

@jerome @Taffer Yeah, toolchain convenience/compatibility is just one slice of the S3 replacement calculation for me. I also need reliability, and for some use cases I also need rapid retrieval speed (using it as a web app datastore).

@kboyd @jerome Pretty cheap to test, $10 CAD/month for 1TB is the base plan. 🤷

@Taffer @kboyd Yep! I've asked on the subreddit of ArqBackup but I am considering testing it regardless, it's also my 3rd backup. Will report back #eazybackup

@jerome @kboyd Fair point; for me, cloud is my third backup set (local, NAS, cloud), so hopefully I’ll never have to find out.

There are other Canadian cloud storage services but they’re mostly NextCloud/OwnCloud and priced at a premium. There’s also Sync.com, but that’s more like Dropbox.

More options in Europe, too.

@Taffer @kboyd @andrew Great suggestion! I just signed up for an account. If the 30-day free trial works well I will move my backups off B2 to EazyBackup
