Where does one even acquire a VPS that makes this worth it? Most VPS pricing I've looked at is significantly more expensive than something like BackBlaze or IDrive. So what even is the point of rolling your own backups if you can't get cheap terrabytes in the cloud? And no I'm not going to consider something like S3 because Amazon's pricing is obnoxious and confusing. Edit: $70 / month for 3TB of S3. Significantly more expensive than all of the managed SaaS backup providers.
AFAIK kopia has a S3 backend so can backup to idrive E2. That said I have a vps from greencloud with 2 TB (and 4 cores) for $80 a year which is very price competitive. There are actually lots of smaller vps providers that offer cheap storage vps. Lowendtalk.com is a good place to find out about offers in particular around black Friday.
