offsite

Hi there. I'm experimenting a bit with setting up a 3-2-1 strategy for my home lab. The setup is pretty much the following: a tiny PVE cluster with some nodes and one shared bigger (>20TB) storage node a tiny PBS node with large primary backup storage (zfs, >20TB) and a hotswap HDD used for...

I have PBS running with an external USB docking station containing an 8TB drive (drive A). In order to do offsite backup rotations, what I did first was a full backup of proxmox VM's and containers to PBS 8TB drive A. I then cloned the drive to another 8TB drive B. Once I week, I shut down...

I am looking for suggestions. I have a small number of VM's that are critical for me and I want to offsite my backups to AWS. I would really like to use an amazon Tape Gateway, This makes sense to me because I already have a stack of LTO5 tapes that will need to be migrated. I know there have...
