I spent some time recently researching the current backup software
landscape and cloud backups with an eye to being able to implement in
either home or enterprise. Two basic requirements I started with were
support for the big 3 (Microsoft, Google, Amazon) and crypto. That led me
to an article discussing rustic vs borg and a rabbit hole.

So I know now that rsync.net has the same pricing for restic as borg, and
that most Australian cloud services are comparatively expensive or
re-selling larger services.

I think Google are the only service without the minimum charge/storage
requirement on their cheaper "backup" offerings.
