Hi,
My current practice is to backup my photos/videos on Google Drive. However, I just hit my 2TB threshold and will now have to pay $250 for 5TB/year (used to be $100 for 2TB/year). Planning to use rclone and Amazon Glacier Deep Archive to keep costs down. For the record, I also have these files on my local NAS for ready-access.
Was curious on any recommendations this community might have with using rclone and this storage option. For example, I read that I should do "rclone copy" as opposed to "rsync sync" to reduce metadata access calls (as it requires a comparison of files?. Anything else? How much more in cost is sync vs copy? I don't intend to delete or move files often, but I could see that happening. My preference is to do sync or something similar to capture the changes, but not if it costs a whole lot.
Thanks in advance for your help.
