Homelab NAS Backup Storage Options: Backblaze vs Hetzner vs Synology C2 (& More)

I have a LOT of videos to store (due to this YouTube channel and also my 6x PoE CCTV camera system). I always used to think that my storage and backup storage system was fine - until I completely ran out of backup disk space. Whoops.

Unfortunately my previous backup space provider (Synology C2) was a bit too expensive, especially for more than 1TB of space, so I went looking for alternatives. I checked out quite a few:

Carbonite
Crashplan
Dropbox
Google Drive
Microsoft OneDrive
Amazon S3
Amazon S3 Glacier
Backblaze B2
Wasabi
Hetzner

So in this video I weight up each provider's pros and cons, and discuss their pricing - and finally the provider that I ended up going with.
