Good afternoon, all
I'm wondering about the use of a PBS server as offsite backups? I understand that I would only need to forward port 8007, but would this have any security issues associated with it, i.e are the backups sent in a secure format, and is the PBS login safe to have network facing? Worst case I could set up a branch office VPN on the same box, but is it worth my time, or should i just sync to S3 storage using rclone? Thoughts here would be great, and any input would be appreciated.
