## TL;DR — your own backup box, paid in XMR

1 TB of NVMe on a full root server costs $24/mo on the annual term ($30 list), and that is the smallest rung of the backup ladder below. Storage plans are root KVM: your borg/restic scheduler, your retention, your encryption, no vendor reading the files. Prices from the catalog, both terms printed:

| Plan | List $/mo | Annual-eff $/mo | NVMe | RAM | Port |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Depot 1 | 30.00 | 24.00 | 1 TB | 8 GB | 2.5 Gbps |
| Depot 2 | 40.00 | 32.00 | 2 TB | 16 GB | 5 Gbps |
| Depot 3 | 50.00 | 40.00 | 3 TB | 16 GB | 5 Gbps |
| Depot 4 | 60.00 | 48.00 | 4 TB | 32 GB | 10 Gbps |
| Depot 5 | 70.00 | 56.00 | 5 TB | 32 GB | 10 Gbps | Catalog prices, checked 2026-09-27. Annual-eff is the 12-month term divided by 12; snapshots add-on $9.50/mo on storage.

## The 3-2-1 arithmetic this box solves

3 copies, 2 media, 1 offsite — the offsite copy is the one this page provides, and it is the copy that survives ransomware, RAID controller death, and office fires. A practical split: primary on your workstation or production server, a second copy on a NAS or second disk, and Depot 1–5 as the third copy in another jurisdiction. Client-side encryption (borg and restic both encrypt before upload) means the offsite copy is ciphertext — the host stores 1s and 0s it cannot read.

## RPO and RTO by schedule

2 numbers size any backup: RPO — how much data you may lose — and RTO — how long a restore takes. On an unmetered 2.5–10 Gbps port, the RTO math is physics, not marketing: 100 GB moves in roughly 5 minutes at 2.5 Gbps sustained and under a minute at 10 Gbps. Match the schedule to the RPO you can afford:

| Schedule | RPO | Typical RTO (100 GB set) | Plan that fits |
|---|---|---|---|
| nightly borgmatic | 24 h | ~5 min at 2.5 Gbps | Depot 1 |
| hourly restic | 1 h | ~2 min at 5 Gbps | Depot 2–3 |
| continuous app replication + hourly offsite | minutes | ~1 min at 10 Gbps | Depot 4–5 |

## Setup that works

Four steps, in order. Debian plus borgmatic or restic over SSH — key auth only, password login off. Client-side encryption before a byte leaves your network. The snapshots add-on ($9.50/mo) adds point-in-time recovery independent of the repo. Drill a restore quarterly: until one has actually run, a backup is a hope rather than a plan. And remember what this box is — the offsite third copy, not a stand-in for the second local copy in 3-2-1.

## Why not a Storage Box

Hetzner's BX line wins the raw per-TB column near $3.50 and loses the rest of the argument: it is a protocol endpoint (SMB/NFS/rsync), root never arrives, custom agents cannot install, and the account behind it can be pushed into government ID. A target you cannot script freely is not yours. NulNet Storage is a root KVM — your scheduler, your retention policy, your client-side encryption, with Monero on the invoice when the payment should stay quiet too. When the library passes 5 TB, the honest next rung is the [dedicated storage server](https://nulnet.com/dedicated-storage-server/) with 4×4 TB drives.

Is client data readable by the host? With borg or restic the data is encrypted on your side, so the host stores ciphertext and cannot read the backups.

Can I pay for backups with Monero? Yes — the same 16-coin invoice covers storage plans, XMR credited at 10 confirmations.

What RPO does a nightly borg job give me? Up to 24 hours of lost changes; hourly restic cuts it to about 1 hour on the same box.

How fast can I pull a full restore? Unmetered ports move 100 GB in roughly 5 minutes at 2.5 Gbps and under a minute at 10 Gbps, plan-dependent.

Does this replace my local second copy? No. In 3-2-1 this box is the single offsite copy; keep two more copies on different local media.
