From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I had backblaze, and it's really a bummer they don't support linux. The closest one I've found is Icedrive, but it costs a bit more. I don't mind paying a bit more though for a FOSS solution (technially not free but yeah). I probably only have 2 TB of actual important stuff but it would be nice to have more for future.

I have a numebr of backup systems going on, but if i take "cloud" to mean "offsite" then my sution to that is a proxmox backup server set up in my home (great for proxmox PVEs but you can back up anything to them) and my friend 3000 miles away also has one in his home. We each set up sync jobs so our local backups are also stored on the remote proxmox backup server.
