Hi guys,
A bit offtopic, but since this is more or less the only forum i'm using, i still hope to get some non-spam replies.
I'm going to upgrade the proxmox environment on my dedicated host. Since i'm moving from proxmox 4.x to 6.x, odds are i'll break something and i'll have to restart from scratch.
It's pretty easy for me to backup my containers as a tarball, so in case something goes wrong, i can scratch the host and restore my containers.
This is where it's becoming problematic: my biggest container is > 400 Gb and i only have about 200 Gb free space on my device.
I was thinking about getting some free or payed cloud storage that supports mounting on my linux server, mounting said storage, defining the mointpoint as directory storage within proxmox, then create backups of my vm's using this storage. My proxmox instance will think it's back-upping to a local store but in reality it'll be back-upping to external storage.
I can then download the backups to a local disk on my nfs at home.
However, i'm struggeling to find a suitable storage provider. These guys charge an arm and a leg... I need ~0.5 Tb storage for one or two days, i'm not going to pay $50 to transfer 1 or 2 Tb while actually using ~0.5 Tb for one or two days...
Does anybody know a storage provider that provides nfs, sftp, ftps,... >0.5 Tb, short term contracts for a reasonable price?
A VPS provider with >0.5Tb HDD would also be perfectly fine, as long as the price is very reasonable.
Or does anybody have any other idears of how to solve this problem? If this was a machine from work, it would have been a 10 minute task, since i would have created a netapp volume, mounted it, and got everything done... At home, for private use, it seems everything is more difficult.
