    People who don't make a remote backup are either crazy or don't have any important data.
    If you find yourself in the first situation, you're going to learn the hard way :D

    That personal vps held my own personal btc wallet and node. At the time, last I checked, had over 1000 bitcoins in that wallet file 😐🙃 needless to say lost em all. That day I learned my lesson good 😂 every so often I check old drives and such for that wallet, not found it yet. Chris is you happen to have one of those old backup drives holding my vpses I'll split it with you!! 🤣

    Simple and effective, hasn't let me down.

    Pretty much the same story for Bitcoin. Except that I had 6 and not 1000. :#
    Since then, I've taken backups seriously.

    Which provider do you use for the storage VPS?

    Hosthatch (RAID 1) / HostC (RAID 6)
    Both have the same copy of the data
    They are also used as a proxmox backup server.
    So I don't have to pay for another service for this use.

    Cheap setup given the storage amount. It's simple and I feel safe.

    How has the uptime been with these? A colleague needs some storage and I suggested the Hetzner Storage Box for simplicity but performance isn't great.

    Uptime: > 99.99% for both
    For hosthatch, in fact, the last outage was months ago and was a network outage of 1m30
    And Host-C had scheduled maintenance for a few hours. Apart from that it's very stable.

    I was also using Hetzner storage boxes before that, and I was satisfied with the performance.
    But now I need VPS to run PBS and the value for money is even better.

    Thanks, that sounds pretty good.

    Need to setup my homelab properly, but way to lazy atm. I have nothing important stored on VPSs luckily.

    Seriously restic with those settings I discovered yesterday is a beat with speed. The backup of 400GB (documents, source code, photos, etc) to iDrive e2 (Ireland location, I'm in Finland) completed in just over a hour with my Gigabit connection and a restore of 54 GB completed in 9 minutes, so 2 minutes slower than with Storj but still super fast. This is the first time I see a backup tool consistently maxing out my connection for both backups and restores. I love it

    If you are a developer, you might like rustic. It respects your .gitignore files and all your build output can be excluded from your backups.

    Thanked by 1JohnnySac

    I saw mentions of rustic but it's very new so I don't know if I would trust it with my backups yet. Are you using it?

    Yeah, hosthatch has been awesome for me, I now have a 2TB in NL, 5TB in LA and 7TB in Stockholm, all used as borgbackup targets.

    >

    Funnily enough, I use basic settings like restic backup PATH --exclude=, works pretty fast for me but I do not have TBs of data to backup just yet.

    All my servers have the same backup setup, Restic+Kopia in docker container & monitoring though Uptime Kuma.

    Can Uptime Kuma monitor backup success / failure from Kopia or restic? how?

    You can configure a "PUSH" check. Then in your backup script you make a CURL request to the URL for the check.

    raw encrypted zfs send using syncoid. keys never leave the pocket

    syncoid -r --no-sync-snap --sendoptions=w zfs/personal remote:zfs/personal

    -w, --raw
    For encrypted datasets, send data exactly as it exists on disk. This allows backups to be taken even if encryption keys are not currently loaded. The backup may then be received on an untrusted machine since that machine will not have the encryption keys to read the protected data or alter it without being detected. Upon being received, the dataset will have the same encryption keys as it did on the send side, although the keylocation property will be defaulted to prompt if not otherwise provided. For unencrypted datasets, this flag will be equivalent to -Lec. Note that if you do not use this flag for sending encrypted datasets, data will be sent unencrypted and may be re-encrypted with a different encryption key on the receiving system, which will disable the ability to do a raw send to that system for incrementals.
