Best Backup Technology + Small UI Wish for Separating Technologies vs. Providers
-
Is there a technology you prefer for network-based deployments (where no physical/direct access to the server is possible)? For example, would you recommend SSHFS, S3-compatible storage, or something else for remote backup scenarios?
I would appreciate some personal opinions
Also, @girish regarding the backup setup: it might improve usability if the storage provider list were divided into technologies (self-hostable/generic protocols) and providers (cloud services). Perhaps a simple separator like --- could visually split the dropdown:
CIFS Mount External/Local Disk (EXT4 or XFS) EXT4 Disk Filesystem Filesystem (Mountpoint) Minio NFS Mount S3 API Compatible (v4) SSHFS Mount XFS Disk --- Amazon S3 Backblaze B2 (S3 API) Cloudflare R2 Contabo Object Storage DigitalOcean Spaces Exoscale SOS Google Cloud Storage Hetzner Object Storage IDrive e2 IONOS (Profitbricks) Linode Object Storage OVH Object Storage Scaleway Object Storage UpCloud Object Storage Vultr Object Storage Wasabi

Dividing into technologies and providers, I think, would continue to be confusing as it suggests that the providers DO NOT offer those technologies. Cloudron gets a lot of ppl new to self-hosting using it, which is a good thing, and the fewer the questions and confusions the better. The list, currently alphabetical, works perfectly fine.
