Hubic backup using rclone, 10TB for €5

Hubic is a personal online storage service from OVH. They are offering insanely cheap cloud storage 10TB for
€5. While this is service is designed for personal use and they support Openstack protocol. There is also no maximum file size limit and data is replicated to 3 data centers for redundancy.

Rclone team has successfully used this to add support for Hubic to create back from Linux servers. Full tutorial is available on rclone website.

https://rclone.org/hubic/

Once you have followed above tutorial use below command for uploading data or create a cron job.

rclone sync /var/www/ hubic:default/backup --transfers=10 --checkers=30 -v

The bandwidth is very low at around 10mbps-30mbps. So backup and restore will take days if not weeks. Still its very cheap insurance policy against any server disasters. Down side is this service is almost non-existent and there is absolutely no support from OVH team anymore.
 
30mbps is too slow for 2017, for personal use (like from a client computer) is not that bad but server to server is very dead slow.

Have you tried with multiple connections?

Yes I did multiple connections. Thats why I put transfers=10. I usually do 20, but take a big toll on CPU. It is not just slow connection, but the sheer no: of files on server that really make it slow. I got around 1 million images and with thumbs its around 3 million files to sync. Even with a faster connection it is transferring 1 files per thread.

Anyway since its an insurance policy against that bad day which I hope never comes this is damn cheap for a 10TB storage. If I was good enough I could get this added as external storage since Chevereto supports open stack.

I was looking at ways that could be done, but not come across anything, would be cool though.

I have used multcloud in the past with Hubic, but that is also very slow transfer https://www.multcloud.com

May be worth raising in idea/suggestion forum. Since I got enough space on server I think I may not implement it given slow speed. But if this integration is possible, many of them will benefit.
