$100/yr unlimited storage as I recall. Check the site.

I had an old PC motherboard I put into a Fractal Design Node 304 chassis and installed TrueNAS OS and some drives on it. Kind of a convoluted way of getting to a Synology.

Offsite/online backups via backblaze

Related question… I’m all iOS at home (no PC, no Mac). Is there a good solution for backing up photos and iCloud Drive to a NAS? Already have extended iCloud storage online, but would like to add something local.

Depends how much experience you have but icloudpd in a docker container works well for photos. PhotoSync and Immich also work well for photos.

Where am I going to run the docker container? No Mac or PC. Or would it run in the NAS (which means a more expensive NAS, but that might be ok)? The doc says it just does the photos library - is there anything similar to do the iCloud Drive (tax docs, etc)?
