Backblaze B2 is about $7 a month per TB.
Almost every major backup solution natively supports S3 compatible storage.

$7/month per TB is expensive as a data hoarder... Best to scope it down to documents, git and photos. The rest gets an onsite backup to externals.

Obviously cloud storage is convenient, but there's definitely better value in on-site backups. That works out to $84/year, which is about what you could get a 1TB HDD for. 2 x 1TB HDDs in RAID will be much cheaper and reasonably safe in the long run. 1TB SSDs will be even better value due to their extended lifespans, and you'd get much better speeds.
