Your initial listing will be blank unless you used the web UI of Jottacloud to create folders. If you get errors, work through the config till it’s correct.

Make sure it can successfully connect.

I recommend using the default Archive mount point.

Follow the instructions to get your token from your Jottacloud account settings pages.

While doing so, make a machine specific API key just to future proof.

in rclone, create a remote repository for cloud vendor of choice – in this case Jottacloud.

In rclone, create a dummy “local” repository.

get the latest Duplicati (available as an rpm on their site.).

get the latest rclone (available as an rpm on their site).

There unfortunately is also a bug in rclone support in Duplicati where it will ask for a local repository – this is a dummy entry, or it’s a real entry, and you do need to create a local repository in rclone, but it doesn’t point to anything. And if you get the newest rclone, IT supports Jottacloud (and a lot of other vendors). Now, Duplicati will say it supports Jottacloud, but … well… it doesn’t really. This way, all Jottacloud (or vendor of choice) sees is encrypted 50MB block files.

You can also use a gpg install if you want to use that method of encryption.

Just make sure you keep copies locally off your computer(s) of the password for the encryption key. There’s a nice “easy” webGUI tool called Duplicati which can grab files on a schedule and back them up, using AES256 encryption. What about the third party tools though? Well, here’s where we can (for backup only) take care of most of the issues around privacy and space if we get a little creative. There is conflicting reports, so I’d trust them technically to be like Box, but with better legal protections, and an interest in privacy generally. What is unclear is how zero knowledge they are. They also offer some Box like picture management and file share and sync tools. Now, googling will show the “unlimited” is more like 5-10TB, but compare 5TB Backblaze object storage at $26 a month, and it seems like a much better deal. They offer unlimited backup for a personal user for 690 NOK per year, which is around $81. They’re based in Norway, so they have GDPR and other privacy regulations that are stronger than in the US. But if I was going to need to deal with third party tools and object storage management, I figured I’d give one more look at cheaper alternatives.Īnd, I found Jottacloud.

So, the obvious competitor is Backblaze B2. They are pretty expensive for “hot storage”, and Glacier is just more complication that using a competing vendor. So, I’m sure many techies are asking why not “object storage” from AWS, Azure or Google Cloud? Well, mostly price. One option that is likely to be the easiest, but more expensive, is SpiderOak One. If you know me, you know I tend to prefer to get what I pay for and only what I pay for – so less advertising, or AI training, or really anyone but people I explicitly select having access to my files, let alone backups is preferable. Many, like Google, use photos to train face detect AIs for instance.

What this means in practice is that while your backup data is private while being backed up, the cloud vendor can look at your files if they want to for any reason. The other thing to keep in mind is how sensitive your backups are – many cloud vendors do encrypt data, but very few do so in a “zero knowledge” end to end method and at rest.

it’s a building block, but not the whole shebang. This is often pay per GB per month, with charges for download, and often is strictly storage space via an API or CLI offering. However, most cloud providers only offer “enterprise” storage if you happen to use Linux.

There are a huge number of options in this space if you use Windows or MacOS, all running about $6/month per computer, or pay for storage used. Cloud backup is a common solution for home users to actually have backups of their data.
