I've been using pCloud to back up only the most important information. The stuff that's hard to get back if something bad happens. Kept in sync with rclone.

Now I think it's time to scale up. I have 1 computer with 4 hard drives plugged up to it. I want to either back up the whole things. I'm thinking of something like backblaze. What does everyone here do for backups?

borg backup with rsync.net

Borg does de-duplication and compression, I've used it for multiple things like backing up minecraft servers and it can reduce the final backup size by a lot (like 1-2 TBs to a hundred of GB, though that was with content that was highly compressible and didn't change much over-time so the deduplication did a lot too).

There is also borgbase.com which looks a bit better and focuses only on borg repositories instead of also being compatible with just about any usual tools (eg rsync, rclone etc)

I'd second this suggestion, I've used borg with rsync.net for the past 4 years and it's been great.

Rsync.net has a discounted "Borg" account https://www.rsync.net/products/borg.html Which seems to be basically no support and no zfs versioning.
