Easy 3-2-1 Data Storage Plan with Cloudron

[LoudLemur]

3 Copies of Data
2 Different disks
1 Copy off-site/encrypted

The emphasis here is on easy.

How would you sort a data backup plan for somebody who has:

A laptop
A hard disk
Cloudron

The "2" is already there if you use Cloudron backups. One copy on the server itself and another is on the external backup (disk or some cloud storage). It's somewhat "2-2-0"

Currently, for our cloud servers, we also enable server backup snapshots (this is available as a service) which gives us another separate storage for backups (whatever the infra provider uses).

For my home server, I manually run a rsync to copy the backups to another external disk (and it's not connected to internet). Still not "off site"

I really would like to use another Cloudron as an encrypted off-site backup destination (the feature for multiple backup destinations is coming). We tried to set this up 3-4 months ago at @nebulon's place which is in another state but this didn't work out because that server doesn't have AVX (it's a zima board and another was m700). For this reason, in Cloudron 8, we have made Cloudron work without AVX. The multiple backup destination will come after.

I thought it was just the copy on the external backup location that is kept? Are copies kept on the server too?

[girish]

@jdaviescoates you are right. What is on the server is not a copy. It is the original. Which then means, you get 1-1-0 on Cloudron by default, I guess.

Which makes my home server 2-2-0 i guess.

Can’t recommend restic with e.g. OneDrive (which you might have 1 TB anyway of if you have a M365 subscription…) for this enough. End-to-end encrypted, fast, browsable with e.g. restoc-browser….
