Storage VPS required
Hi all. Looking for a storage VPS for nightly backups from my Proxmox machine at OVH GRA.
1) I want around 500GB of space or so (I was going to use OVHs backup but its too slow)
2) It needs to be quick too and from OVH GRA.
3) No OVH, Online or Delimiter (after their little flipout earlier)
4) Ideally gigabit (inbound mostly)
5) Not that keen on Time4VPS due to their restrictions on IO and speed
I look forward to seeing your suggestions. I want to spend as little as possible, but have the ability to scale up storage as and when I need too.

traffic/mo ?

Around 5 or so TB (once again, with the ability to scale as needed)
Prometeus storage pool looks quite flexible.
HostHatch 2TB BW after that 10 Mbps or $3/TB, Backupsy's additional BW is way more expensive.
You probably have already used Fiberoute.
Yes I have, wouldn't mind something with Fiberoute again.
We are summoning @infinity then…
@harisp and @AshleyUk might have some spare space on their DE storage nodes too.
Assuming an OpenVZ based would work for you, I (LiteServer) might be to help you out with a plan from our storage line.
If a VPS is not really a required, you can always look around for a backup provider that provides you remote storage over rsync/sftp/anyotherprotocol. But with ~500GB of data, that's probably price wise not interesting enough.
Really, I am just looking for a 500GB or so NFS target that I can feed into Proxmox and say "dump backup here".
@time4vps has roughly 300mbps usable inbound from every one of my European vps+dedi looking glasses.
If your backup utility can be tuned to match a 300-400iops write pattern , you'd have a very cost-effective solution.
if OVZ is good enough I'd recommend waiting until mid may when @AshleyUk probably will chime in with a new offer on LET and some stock of his storage special.
otherwise may have a look directly at hetzners storage boxes from https://www.hetzner.de/ot/hosting/storagebox/bx20 - only 2 TB though, but as far as i remember you are able to scale directly from their control panel and it supports nfs OOB
I somewhere posted transfer rates between OVH and such a storage box, probably search for bx20 or something like that here at LET if interested ;-)
Hello, if you dump single file backup, then you will not likely hit IOPS limit (400). Try us, we have 30 days money back guarantee.
Wasnt your iops limit on storage boxes 75~100...or I am mistaken..
It was long time ago, yes. Now it's solid 400.
:-)
Well I will soon buy one...as this was the thing holding me back...
Tip:
Next time you create the new post for offers...do write that you have updated it...as there will be many like me who don't know this :-)
Cheers
Internal OVH port speed will be much better than outside provider.
Not on their backup servers, I also want something not inside OVH incase.
