Storj DCS offers a decentralized cloud object storage that delivers:
Storj DCS is an enterprise-grade Amazon S3-compatible object storage, while leveraging the benefits of decentralization, combined with superior privacy and inherent cross-geography redundancy achieved through encryptions and erasure coding.
Storj DCS is well suited for use cases like backing up large data sets from academic research to autonomous vehicles, point-to-port file transfer for large files, software distribution or media serving. The following video which explains how Storj DCS works, streams directly from the decentralized cloud: How it works - Click here

A decade ago I worked for a shop that needed to routinely back up 100+ cisco switches and routers and refused to pay for solarwinds. I setup a light weight freebsd vm to run this open source software: https://shrubbery.net/rancid/ (Rancid: Really Awesome New Cisco config Differ) and set it to scrape all the equipment every 12 errors.

Anyways Rancid does support cvs, svn, and git. Though I have only used it with cvs. Basically what it does, is checks out the configuration, downloads the configuration with other information about the state of the device, commits the configurations(which only changed ones will be in the latest check-ins, and then it can send an email of the changes.

RANCID - Really Awesome New Cisco confIg Differ monitors a router's (or more generally a device's) configuration, including software and hardware (cards, serial numbers, etc) and uses CVS (Concurrent Version System), Subversion or Git to maintain history of changes. Source: about 2 years ago
If you want to use this as an opportunity to learn Ansible, or you don't want to add another tool to the stack, this is a fine use case. Otherwise, I would consider using either RANCID or Oxidized for configuration backup. Source: about 2 years ago
Before I knew about RANCiD (https://shrubbery.net/rancid), I wrote my own Perl application to telnet into a Foundry Networks switch and TFTP its configuration to my computer so I could back it up. At a future employer, I rewrote another coworkers Perl application that collected SNMP values from devices and did stuff with it (forget what all I did then). Source: over 2 years ago

I did storj.io but was not profitable and the support was worthless. Did join NTP Pool (as I have a stratum 2 GPS NTP) but the power supply died and I haven't been able to get time to fix it. Source: 9 months ago
Storj is based on blockchain technology and peer-to-peer protocols to provide secure, private, and encrypted cloud storage. - Source: dev.to / 11 months ago
I will eventually move to a synology ds260slim, but tbh I feel cloud storage is better storj.io not trying to sell it just saying it’s really really good and cheap. Source: about 1 year ago
You can even make money from storj.io ! Source: over 1 year ago
