backups, advice wanted 

So I have a local backup of my data, but I want to make an offsite backup. It's around 80GB right now and I expect it to grow to ~100GB over time

What's the cheapest way of doing this?

(Note: in addition to "normal" options, I also have the less common option of "burn it onto some discs and send those discs to my brother's house")

I'd like to do an offsite backup once a week at a minimum.

And I'm using borg to create the backups, so data change is minimal

@lizardsquid
what are your requirements for the backup?

how often do you want to update it?

@lizardsquid Get a second-hand hard drive, maybe? :blobwaitwhat:

@lizardsquid you could use rclone and backblaze's b2 cloud which is extremely cheap for backup solutions like this. It only gets expensive with data transfers and even then it's still fairly cheap.

@jmp ah, that is cheap!
