Does anyone have any experience with off-site backups of personal data? We have roughly 1TB of stuff that I'd like to have a copy of elsewhere.
I can't think of the combination of words to search for ot get services at this scale.
Does a service exist on the same order of magnitude of cost as buying a 1tb external disk and leaving it in my mum's loft?

@christianp I run pixie.town and for it's backups I use Borg (with Borgmatic on some servers, and there's also Vorta which has a nice gui). Storage backend-wise I've used borgbase.com, BuyVM with a KVM storage slab, and a Hetzner storage box (definitely slower, but cheaper too).

Remote machines also back up to my local servers, but that's rather dependent on your network speed and if you pay for traffic. A Pi with an external disk at someone else's home could be an option too, the newer pi's have not-awful disk throughput i think
