I am going to be buying a nas soon (probably a qnap) with four 8TB drives likely using RAID 6.
I want to backup qnap to a cloud service for as cheap as possible preferably once a week (but would do monthly or quarterly if it saves significant $).
After the first transfer I would like the cloud to either update with just the new stuff, or delete the old and replace with the new (I dont need multiple backups).
I was looking into amazon glacier and google cloud (nearline/coldline/archive storage) but I don't understand the pricing structure as it would relate to how I want to use it. Blackbaze b2 seems ok, but i feel like those other options (i have not even yet looked into other sites) might end up being cheaper (my ultimate hope is that I will never have to access that backup data)
any advice on which way to go
Alternatively, I saw a youtube video you made about "tricking" the cloud to thinking was a computer, any advice on how to do that on a qnap?
