You're welcome, just to flesh that out with some links as I replied quickly before, this is #Backblaze, which is pretty cost-effective:
https://www.backblaze.com/cloud-storage/pricing
#Duplicity is here (and in most #Linux repos as standard):
https://duplicity.us/
And we have an #Ansible role here that will install Duplicity in a #Python venv - if you copy and paste this to run it just remove the bit that creates the systemd timer, because it'll break outside of our stack:

With the benefit of hindsight I'd have bothered to set up Backblaze paired with Duplicity. I hadn't gotten that far, as this was early dev infrastructure.

I set up using #Hetzner for a new venture and added a payment card. 1st invoice came, unbeknown to me payment failed, the card provider disabled online payments and I hadn't realised. I don't check that email account much, so I didn't notice for a couple of weeks. By the time I did, my account had been suspended. Fair enough. I paid, apologised, asked if they could turn things on again, and got this:
> we can only reactivate the account access, but the server[s] [are] already cancelled.
😱
