I'd always assumed I didn't need a 1:1 backup of my entire NAS or whatever since I have all the important stuff backed up, but in the interest of saving time rebuilding everything I wonder maybe I was wrong.
Some brief research shows you can get it really very cheap but it varies a lot and the complexity is in how fast you perform and, importantly, restore and then I got lost. I see some providers offer the option to ship them a disk as your initial backup and have them ship you a disk if you need to restore so only incremental changes are done over the internet, very useful.
I am struggling to find an easy way to compare services and pricing like for like, any suggestions or tips what to look for? This is primarily for long-term "hope I never need it" backups e.g. my NAS gets stolen or I get hit by a ransomware attack, and need to be able to get back up to speed. Nice if I can access online but I don't want to pay a lot more just for that. We're talking order of 1Tb I suppose.
