1-i have around 7 servers..each around 500 GB in backup size
2-i have to upload the backups every 3-4 days so in any given time I should have one set of backup on the cloud around 3-4 TB
3-i have around 20 mbps of upload speed (im abroad)
I will see if my isp can rent me space his data center for a small NAS or small pc with a raid card
I think you made a mistake.
You have 7 servers of .5TB each, that is 3.5 TB of initial upload, possibly less if you compress them.
Then each subsequent backup should be
incremental so you only upload what has changed. Any half decent backup software has this functionality.
As for downloading 1TB each month I'm not sure why you want to do that.
According to the number you entered, Backblaze calculated that your storage will be
growing by 21TB each month (24 - 3).
So after one year you would be storing in excess of
250 TB in your account.
So it seems that it's not B2 that is very expensive but rather the numbers that you entered which are very wrong.
I think that if you use a B2 with one of
the clients that provide incremental backup, you can do it for something like $500 / year. Of course it is a very rough estimate, I do not know any details about your data and how much it changes. It could be less or more.
Backblaze have two products, one is cloud storage which is called B2. I use it, and last time I checked it is the cheapest cloud storage option for raw storage (you have to manage it yourself through a third party client).
The second product is a fully managed backup system including a client which you can download from them. I am not familiar with this option.
