At home i have the following types of files:

Onedrive
  • personal documents
  • photos

Freenas
  • Vidoes
  • Downloads
  • Films

External HDD
  • OS backups

Onedrive is fin for now but I need somewhere to store everything on my freenas and hdd. I'm not sure if AWS or Azure would like me storing some of the types of stuff I have. I could rent a dedicated server but some of the T&Cs prohibit certain files.
 
Cool, i was thinking about setting up an owncloud on Azure but could not quite work out how much it would all cost. My MSDN subscription gives around £70/month to spend on Azure.
 
After a quick test, my broadband upload speed is very slow (a 3GB file in 15 hours). It looks like it will be not feasible for me to have an owncloud server as it will take too long to upload and slow my internet down :(

I use rysnc to backup my Linux NAS nightly to a dedicated server with Hetzner (Hosts email, owncloud etc using virtualmin) then I use the build in backup tool in virtualmin to backup the dedicated server to Amazon S3 on a middaily basis with backups kept for 7 days

It's probably somewhat overkill, but I'm about as guarded against data loss as I can be.

How large is your nightly backup?
 
Do you encrypt your files? I was thinking Owncloud offers encryption but I don't think AWS does.

I found an AWS service where I can ship in a hdd and they will load data. I have around 1TB of data which will be $100. I can then put that in Glacier and push rsync with my freenas box.

The 2nd option will be to buy a dedicated server, setup an owncloud HA cluster and just use that.
