Cheapest way to back up a lot of data? (pawb.social)

Hello!! Some recent technical problems on my family's NAS gave me a big scare and finally pushed me to figure out a way to back it all up. I'm asking here specifically because I really don't know where to even starts because of the fact I've got just under 50 terabytes worth of data stored in a 7-disk RAID-5 and would prefer to keep it cheap. What are your suggestions?

Edit: thank you for all the suggestions, I'll probably be considering using Backblaze for backups, or perhaps seeing if I can scrounge up old unused disks from people I know. Thank you all again <3

Nobody said this here but storj is one of the cheapest storage out there and it's has redundancy and is distributed. And if you have truenas, it's kinda baked right in. They had some hiccups when communicating changes to the community, but overall nice folks.

$15/TB (I'm assuming USD) is incredible!
