I'm in search of a dependable cloud service for backing up my Linux system. I'm particularly looking for a provider based in Europe due to privacy concerns. I thought about using Proton Drive, but the lack of a native app for Linux is a dealbreaker for me. Since a NAS isn't an option right now, I'm focusing solely on cloud services. Can anyone suggest a solution that allows for encrypted and automated backups on Linux that actually performs well?

Honestly, if you're worried about privacy, I'd be hesitant to use a cloud service for backups at all.
I personally run my own backup solution using Nextcloud, which is a solid option. If you'd rather not set it up yourself, there's Nextcloud services available, and they're based in Germany—good for privacy!
If you're serious about keeping your data safe, consider using an external USB hard drive with GRsync to manage your backups. It keeps your data local and secure.
That's a fair point! What alternative methods would you suggest?
