There's not much sense in using these advanced backup tools if you're already on ZFS, even if it's just on the backup server, I would stick with something simpler. Their whole point is in reliable checksums, incremental backups, deduplication, snapshotting on top of a 'simple' classical filesystem. Sounds familiar to any ZFS user?
- nijave 1y agoDedupe is efficient in Borg. The target needs almost no RAM
- globular-toast 1y agoAre there any good options for an off-site zfs backup server besides a colo? Would be interested to know what others have set up as I'm not really happy with how I do it. I have zfs on my NAS running locally. I backup to that from my PC via rsync triggered by anacron daily. From my NAS I use rclone to send encrypted backups to Backblaze. I'd be happier with something more frequent from PC to NAS. Syncthing maybe? Then just do zfs sync to some off site zfs server.
- gaadd33 1y agoI think Rsync.net supports zfs send/receive
- aeadio 1y agoAside from rsync.net which was mentioned in a sibling comment, there’s also https://zfs.rent https://zfs.rent, or any VPS with Linux or FreeBSD installed.
- globular-toast 1y agozfs.rent is in the wrong location and I can't see anything about zfs send/receive support on rsync.net. What kind of VPS product has multiple redundant disks attached? Aren't they usually provided with virtual storage?
- Tharre 1y agoIt's documented here: https://www.rsync.net/products/zfsintro.html https://www.rsync.net/products/zfsintro.html Do note the 5 TiB minimum order for it though, it's not something that's enabled on other accounts.
