Out of curiosity, why do you insist on a minimum of 4TB for zfs send enabled accounts? (Happy rsync.net customer btw)

- mekster 4y agoThat's because their zfs account requires a dedicated IP and a VM. It used to be 1TB minimum until pretty recently but they went with 4TB now. If you want a less space solution, just spin up a t3.small (I suppose at least 2GB memory would be better for zfs) on AWS as Ubuntu with Cold HDD (minimum 125GB) as extra storage which is quite cheap at about 0.015/GB and install "zfsutils-linux" and you're good to go to use zfs.
- Nextgrid 4y agoKeep in mind that AWS's outbound bandwidth charges will bite you if you need to retrieve that data later. It's probably fine for a true "last resort" backup, but if you're frequently restoring it's worth keeping in mind.
