Cheap Cloud iSCSI/NFS Service Provider?

[JustaGuy]

I'd like to add a 2TB RAW disk image via NFS or iSCSI for approximately $40/month US. Googling results come up with the cheapest I can find being $80/month at Softlayer: http://www.softlayer.com/file-storage

I'm here to see if any PVE users know of a better option.

Thanks,

I am pretty sure you can find a physical server with more than 2TB disk and configure an NFS share or ISCSI LUN on it. I suggest this share being in the same network, otherwise high latency will kill your io performance.

I want to use it for vzdumps, so I/O isn't a concern as long as it's not so bad that the jobs fail.

Could be an idea to write a storage plugin which supports backups to cloud, owncloud, dropbox etc.?

I'd like to see a backup option to dump straight to an S3 bucket. But I think we need to have incremental backups in proxmox first otherwise a full backup everytime will start consuming mega amounts of space.

bareos support write to s3/ceph rados.

I think it could be possible to user the bareos bpipe plugin, to launch vzdump and pipe the output to bareos (and then to s3)
