My current setup is Freenas VM with 2 3TB ZFS mirrored WD reds. I run restic from those to a 3rd 3TB red over USB. Then I rclone the encrypted restic backup to B2, so it's e2e encrypted from Backblaze's point of view. I'm considering ditching the VM and using ZFS on linux, and just doing straight rclone to both the USB disk and Backblaze, for the following reasons: TL;DR - my thread model is essentially me accidentally deleting something, and bitrot, and I think this setup is overkill for that. * All operations mentioned take forever. Cutting the encryption I think might speed things up a lot (not sure about this, the key question is if the encryption is causing a lot of extra io operations). * I'm afraid of losing my restic encryption key. I have multiple copies of my keepass file but if syncthing decides to delete them, both of my backups become useless. * Backblaze has earned my trust, and in the unlikely event someone hacks my data, there's not much valuable there. I would probably switch to encrypting a single directory with the few things I care about being exposed. Even if I keep encrypting the whole thing, I would use something more boring than restic. * I'm not sure I've ever needed to restore an old version of a file with restic (there may have been one time early on). I think deduplication is overkill for my needs as well. It's cool tech, I just don't think I need the complexity.
