April 9, 20242 yr I've recently set up my first Unraid server. I want to back the whole thing up using a third-party service. I've only heard of Backblaze, but don't actually know anything about it. Can someone recommend a service like that to go with? Something that ideally has very clear installation instructions available somewhere. And also ideally free or low-cost.

To back up a NAS, you have to use their much more expensive B2 service. Some of us use Crashplan Pro for $10 a month unlimited backup. They do not restrict NAS. Look in the Backup section of the Apps tab and see what the available options are for Unraid. Many are just client applications to front-end a cloud-based backup service. The client may be free but you can pay a lot for the cloud backup space.

Wonder if you've seen this, and suggest I try it out? Or avoid?
