I am looking for offers around $10/month but can go a little bit higher if necessary. Currently I am estimating my backup size at 1.8 TB, so I would prefer 3 TB+ unless the storage is increased periodically like the Servarica VPS.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

BorgBase offers simple and secure offsite backups based on Borg Backup:

• Alerts on missed backups (email, Pushover, webhooks)
• Append-only mode to protect existing backups
• Every repository in your account is isolated
• Compression and deduplication to reduce space usage and transfers
• Your data is encrypted locally and we never see its contents

• Our docs have loads of great tutorials to improve your backup strategy or install Borg on more exotic platform, like Synology or TrueNAS.

Happy World Backup Day and always encrypt your backups! 😉

Wanted to get some advice on files to exclude for plesk backups, we don't want our backups growing exponetially with unwanted files

Is this enough ?

.gz
.jpa
*.log
*.bkup
*.sql
*.tar
*.tar.gz
*.zip

/core.[0-9]

My former backup-server ran out of space, so now i need something bigger.

Minimum:

• 3 (v)CPU (With AES-NI enabled)
• 4GB ECC-RAM
• 2-3TB Storage with good I/O for tons of small data (the more, the better)
• Support for VNC or similar
• Bandwidth at least 500mbit
• Location: Germany, or somewhere else in Europe with good connection to Hetzners Falkenstein Location

Price: 13-17USD/Month

Ideally I'd like the server to be in the UK but Europe is fine, I'd prefer it to be a KVM server. It won't be running any services like http or mysql, the only traffic it will see is me syncing files to the server or pulling down a backup.

So anything from 250GB to 1TB space is needed paid monthly or annually for a bigger saving 😁

Im currently searching for a good VPS for Proxmox Backup Server. This would need:

• 2x CPU
• 4GB RAM ECC
• 1TB Storage (doesn't need to be SSD, but it needs good I/O)
• 1Gbit connection, 4TB Bandwidth
• Location: Europe, or just somewhere with good connection to Hetzners Falkenstein location
• Price: 8-10€/Month, 6-Month contract period when needed

This week I’ve written an article on setting up Duplicati backups, hopefully it will help some of you guys

https://cyberhost.uk/duplicati-backup

If you haven’t got backups running, you should definitely get some sorted unless you like a bit of data loss!

Best Wishes,
CyberHost

Do you guys encrypt these Files?

What does your setup look like?

Do you know any backup plugins for Direct Admin that supports FTP Backups which runs on Debian 10 ?
JetBackup - Not Supported
Dabackup- No remote ftp backup

My need is not immediate.

"Filer v5" Dedicated Server Series Overview

In the coming weeks, we'll be launching two new exciting products: NVMe VPS and Block Storage as a service. BSaaS?

Our new RAID-10 NVMe virtual servers will be perfect for those I/O intensive applications, such as SQL, Redis, etc. We plan on launching this service by the end of this week, or the beginning to middle of next week.

The new block storage will be sold as an add-on to any of our dedicated servers, VPS or colocation services. The block storage is powered by HGST HelioSeal SAS drives in a mirrored ZFS configuration. (RAID-10 equivalent) It will be a perfect way to add some inexpensive extra storage to your servers. This service is planned to be launched as soon as our developers have completed our billing module. We're hoping to have this service launched within the next 3-4 weeks.

Keep your eyes open for announcements and product launch sales!

*Please note, initially these products will only be available in Phoenix, AZ.

For example:
A VPS at Contabo with 2 cores, 4 GB RAM and 300GB SSD is 3.99€ a month. Fair enough, not a bad price at all.
While ordering above mentioned VPS, you can add backup space. That is a separate storage accessible via ftp/sftp where you can store backups. For 100GB of backup storage, the monthly fee increases with 3.99€.
Now this doesn't make sense to me. Instead of paying for 100GB of storage only, I could buy a complete second VPS and get 3 times the storage for the same price!

I have seen similar pricing on a lot of other providers, and I just cant figure out why backup storage costs equal to or often a lot more then a complete VPS.
Why is backup space/secondary storage so damn expensive?

Currently we automate all of our backups using an Ansible role that manages our borgbackup server along with all of the borg clients. It adds/modifies scripts and crons on the clients (hypervisors) based on the variables we set and makes sure the clients can SSH into an unprivileged user and only access a specific directory as specified in .ssh/authorized_keys so it can push all of the data into a borg repo. Before it runs the borg portion of the script though, another tool on Proxmox (vzdump) backups up all of the VMs daily to the local disk and compresses them with pigz (multi-threaded gzip). Borg will then send all of the specified directories & files to our remote borg server for safe keeping.

I just added support for rclone so that after the all of the clients finish their backups for the day, it will do a weekly rclone sync on the borg server to our bucket on Wasabi object storage. I picked Wasabi, because they don't charge for egress (outgoing bandwidth). So in the event of a major disaster and we've lost our borg server, we could retrieve our borg repos from Wasabi.

Are they doing the restoration manually? What holds them not to automate this ?
