Can I Backup my Backups to Backblaze?

[godsavethequ33n]

Try and say that that three times fast!

So is it possible for me to back up my backups to backblaze.. or any other location? I could backup the datastore directory... but its thousands and thousands of directories (chunks)... not sure that would be feasible.

There's a company in the netherlands offering a proxmox backup service, there's even a free tier for up to 150Gb

I did sign up for a trial earlier today to give it a go. Only thing with going this route would be having to run the same backups twice.. I believe.

Ultimately I want an on site backup and then a copy of that backup offsite.

You can synchronize two BPS. Then you just need to backup your guests to your local PBS once and it will sync all data to the remote PBS. And you can use encryption where even the remote PBS can'T access your backups, so you don't even need to trust the hoster of your offsite PBS. Would be better than just backing up your datastore to the cloud, because if your local PBS fails you can directly restore backups from your remote PBS and don'T need to setup a new local PBS first and then download the complete offsize datastore before you could start restoring guests.

Thank you for the suggestion!! I will give that a go provided I hear back from Tuxis about their free tier for testing.

Tuxis does not offer remote sync in their free plan. [1]
