Why you don't backup encrypted copies somewhere else with deduplication / incremental backups?
I wasn't clear enough.
Some backup programs, like cpanel's or jetpack, require a lot of space on your server to backup to another server.
Going to need space for the tars before they are off loaded elsewhere most likely
You can pipe tar over ssh.
Yeah lack of disk space on source server can be problematic. For that I am writing and testing a new backup script for my Centmin Mod LEMP stack usage which allows 100% remote server backup using tar/mariabackup for file and mariadb database backups fed through Facebook's zstd compression (benchmarks) and netcat. I've currently been able to achieve backup speeds in 200-500MB/s range across servers with 10Gbps connectivity Really want to see see how much faster I can make it
Then will do MySQL backup data verification via automatic test restore data to throw away standalone MariaDB MySQL servers created automatically via dbdeployer https://github.com/datacharmer/dbdeployer
Doing 100% remote backups, will allow you to just provision remote backup server with more disk space to house all source servers' backed up data files
Simple example for tar to stdout fed throuh SSH connection to a remote server https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/linux-shell-scripting/9781785881985/6efd1089-b99c-4ba3-8cad-96b29923f415.xhtml
Rsync from destination?
Will only give 1 backup version. Sometimes you will have to restore from 2-3 days prior backup.
are you going to share said script?
I'm going to try this and was wondering if anyone knew how reliable it would be: Remote mount another server and then use that for temp backups space for your backup operation.
As long as it has good speed and you monitor it properly, you should be fine. Check Acronis too for remote backup.
autosync somewhere else kinda good too.
Right now it's only intended for my paying clients running Centmin Mod LEMP stack and then eventually will add cPanel and DirectAdmin control panel support for my paid clients.
Yeah key would be the network speed between source and remote destination servers >1Gbps is a must for any decent speeds. I like Linode VPS for this as a US$40/month VPS at Linode has 40Gbps in/5Gbps out network speeds so you can push serious speeds Linode higher plans have 40Gbps in and up to 9-12Gbps out.
It depends on how you setup. Else if you want to do easy with web gui then you can try backuppc.
But i recommend to optimize the disk usage of your site or server.
Yes, You can use custom bash script to do this.
In bash script you can Create backup > Upload and then delete back from source. This process will be repeated unless all accounts will be backuped on offside server.
I used it but there is some problem, I was not able to exclude some accounts.
+1. Cyber Cloud is an awesome bit of kit.
You can setup a NFS mount on your remote server and use this to store the temporary files.
Borg?
What does that run?
thanks, it's on my list to test.
Its acronis, it has its own agent. I think you still need some extra space to run it.
In CyberCloud they provide you with the space.
Yes, i know, but i think the agent still needs some space to pricess. Iirc i asked this in imuñify360.
