Hetzner storagebox. 1TB for under 5 bucks/month, 5TB for under 15. Sftp access. Point your restic there. Backup game done, no surprises, no MBAs involved.
Hetzner Storage Box is not even remotely a similar product to B2, considering the only reliability offered is the disks being in RAID. There is no geo-redundancy at all. The number of simultaneous connections is also quite limited, though this might not matter for many use cases.
I feel what you need to chose between $5/m and 99.999% SLA
B2 has no geo-redundacy by default. It's RAID across a bunch of neighboring servers.
Until there is. Backblaze was also trusted years ago. Selfhost, it became easy enough.
Selfhosting Offsite is hard. Accessing services via standard protocols like ssh/webdav and just pushing your encrypted blobs there is a good middle ground. They can't control what you upload, and you can easily point your end-point somewhere else if you need to move.
