I’m particularly interested in low bandwidth solutions. My connection to the internet is pretty rough 20mbps down and 1mbps up with no option to upgrade.

That said, this isn’t limited to low bandwidth solutions.

I’m planning on redoing my entire setup soon to run on Kubernetes followed by expanding the scope of what my server does (Currently plex, a sftp server and local client backups). Before i do that i need a proper offsite backup solution.

    I do it 3 ways.

    1. Critical stuff (photos, documents etc) is synced in realtime to backblaze. Low RPO. Low RTO.

    2. Critical stuff is also backed up to a secondary NAS 2x per day for versioned backups. And that data is synced nightly to Backblaze. Higher RPO but also Higher RTO.

    3. All data from secondary NAS/Backup NAS is backed up nightly to 1 of 3 large external hard drives that are rotated monthly. Each disk holds ~30 days of backup archives from #2.

    • Most recently pulled disk is stored off site. Oldest disk is brought back on site but stored in a UL rated fire safe
