I have 3 servers:
- my house
- my sister house
- my parents house
My server has a lot of services (Nextcloud and Immich the ones that use more space), the other 2 servers only have Home Assistant, Frigate and some shared folders. On my server I use Backrest to backup locally and on Wasabi, the other 2…well…are not backed up 🙈 …yet!
I was thinking to buy a couple of 14/20TB drives and install them in my parents and sister servers so that each server can backup data on the other 2. The backup will be done locally on all the servers with Backrest. How do I copy the backups across servers? Should I use Syncthing or is it better to use one repository per location on each Backrest? Or…other ideas?
Thanks!
You must log in or # to comment.
Whatever you end up with
- test a restore
- consider how to deal with the source data being corrupted / ransomed / etc, ie multiple versions
You don’t want to send as that’s means that an adversary can delete the backups.
Make each one do a pull instead.
Huh?
Configure each backup machine to read from the data you are backing up
I’m sorry, but I still don’t understand what you mean. Could you please elaborate bit? Thanks!
You configure the backup systems to connect to the device to be backed up. The idea is if something bad happens on the main machine it won’t impact the backups
Got it, good idea, thanks!
