I have a pretty well-tested system involving Syncthing, Restic, and rsync.net that causes the data I care about to all be backed up daily to a local and remote store.
For people who are privacy-conscious (and have dirty laundry to hide), outsourcing backups to a third party cloud (especially one of low headcount) will increase the risk of any personal data breach significantly.
It’s frankly admirable your conscience is so clean, that this frame never surfaces itself in your post...
I don’t think I agree? The contents of the backups are encrypted before they ever go to rsync.net. The cryptography is a little bit fancy because restic is trying to support deduplication of successive encrypted snapshots, so I don’t personally understand it, but it seems to have a good reputation.
If you have an alternative you would recommend I’m all ears.

No, you are right. I jumped the gun on commenting and in my ignorance did not realize the security implied by the specific system.
