Personally I just push to an offsite restic backup on a cheap Hetzner storage box. It's not super fast and only hosted in EU AFAICT but it fits the bill for being cheap and reliable enough. It's just there for me to retrieve sentimental-value things like photos in the off chance all my other backup methods have failed.

Initial setup is a bit weird with their SSH key setup IIRC but manageable.

Man, that pricing of 4 euro for 1TB is nice. I love this option.

You can sshfs or cifs to it. Latency hurts but it's good.
