I do keep some (too much?) history on my backups - I can go back years - and this history means that the size of the backups is significant. Still not 100% sure about the service - the speed is all over the place depending on the time of day - there’s no consistency whatsoever, which makes me worry a bit about the scale of their backend. Initial tests were a bit bumpy (unexpected downtimes, timeouts, …), but support was responsive and in the end worked quite well.
Pricing was better than B2 (no egress/download cost). Rclone is being used to encrypt/copy backups taken by Proxmox Backup Server (which takes backups of the VM’s/Linux Containers running on Proxmox VE, deduplicates and compresses the data) to remote storage, while restic is used to do deduplication/encryption and copying of data stored on my NAS to remote storage.įor a while I was using Backblaze B2 ( object storage) as a backend, but when I started validating part of my backups using restic’s check functions, costs went up dramatically (B2 charges for storage, download and certain transactions).Īfter some searching I came across iDrive E2, an S3-compatible object storage provider.
But once you’ve set up Rclone and seen what you can do with it with just a few short commands, you may find it an indispensable tool in your arsenal.Using Hetzner Storageboxes as backup targets for Restic/Rcloneįor my offsite backup strategy I’m relying on rclone and restic. If you don’t enjoy using the command line or only use one cloud storage provider, there are fewer features here of use to you. The ability to move, copy, and sync files between multiple storage providers, local storage, FTP servers, and just about every other kind of file storage system you can think of can be a huge boon to IT managers tasked with looking after a busy storage setup. Rclone is an outstanding tool for anyone who needs to perform complex operations on cloud storage providers. Though Rsync can sometimes be faster than Rclone at copying files, it has little support for cloud storage providers and requires each computer to be running a copy of Rsync for it to work. Rsync is a command-line tool that is usually installed on Linux and macOS by default, and it's available for Windows if you install Cygwin (opens in new tab). Rclone is based on Rsync (opens in new tab), which has been around since 1996.
