I’ve been using Kopia to backup my Windows work machine, Linux personal computer, and my wife’s Macbook.

Right now, It is just backing up to my NAS, but I would like to have it backup to a cloud solution.

I figured I would get some S3 storage somewhere and point Kopia at that to make the backup. I do not need a lot of space. I think 500gb would be enough. I do not want costs to be too high.

Do I have the right plan, or is there a better option?

Thanks in advance.

    Seems like a good way to do it.

    Keep in mind Kopia has some weirdness when it comes to transferring repos between filesystem and S3, so you’d probably want to only keep one repo.

    Backblaze B2 is a cheap S3 provider. Hetzner storage box is even cheaper, but it doesn’t support S3 natively, so you’re likely to run into issues with the kopia repo compatibility I mentioned.

      So, I would need 3 different s3 buckets? One for each system?

      If that’s the case, I might go the raspberry pi in a relatives house route.

        Ah, no, Kopia uses a shared bucket.
