Vultr AND Linode.
1) Upload a custom ISO with ZFS (https://github.com/beren12/zfs-iso/ https://github.com/beren12/zfs-iso/)
2) Create a new VPS without OS and boot to your uploaded ISO.
3) Create a ZFS root pool and bootstrap your Debian or another distribution.
4) Enable all cool features: compression, encryption, etc.
5) rsync your zfs snapshots from Vultr to Linode and vice-versa.
This is how I do. You can even use them as templates for newly VPS.
And for backups, BackBlaze B2 and WASABI with a zfs-snapshot-upload script.
- SkyLinx 7y agoIsn't a backup of the whole os via snapshot overkill? I can bring up one or more completely configured new servers in a few minutes with Ansible (plus another few with Rancher for Kubernetes). I don't see the point in backing up anything other than the actual data.
