I won't comment on legality of anything, but if you encrypt your data it'll be impossible for anyone to tell what it is. Rclone has an option to do this.
Can I do incremental backups with rclone whilst encrypting it?
Idk about rclone but you can do that with Borg backup.
Borg is a great tool, you should check it out
But Borg does not work with object storage, it needs a borg process on the receiving side.
Another alternative then would be Restic. That's what I'm using for backups
Or rustic! It is compatible with restic but has some nice additions, for example the fact that supports a config files. It makes operations a bit easier IMHO (I am currently using both).
I could be wrong, but I remember reading some companies using AI to analyze your data traffic. Even when encrypted, they may be able to tell that it must be video streaming of some sort. Many providers ban video streaming altogether, legal or not.
Sounds like OP is asking about file storage. Video streaming could be spotted using info leaked regarding traffic behavior. But uploading an encrypted file for storage shouldn't leak anything except the size.
For a short period of time, nobody will care, especially with almost zero traffic.
But for only up to 3tb, you can easily fit that on a single drive.
I wrote a WebDAV server you can use as the frontend for it that can encrypt everything you upload.

There’s something I’m using that Backblaze doesn’t support, so I’m fixing that right now.
Edit: Ok, I fixed the issue and updated it on Docker. It now works with Backblaze. It’s a bit slow, but I’m not sure if that’s just my connection or Backblaze.
I don’t use b2, rather; I have a personal account. Backing up 3 computers and they’ve never said anything over years So. Yeah it’s fine
