I have 3 servers:

  • my house
  • my sister house
  • my parents house

My server has a lot of services (Nextcloud and Immich the ones that use more space), the other 2 servers only have Home Assistant, Frigate and some shared folders. On my server I use Backrest to backup locally and on Wasabi, the other 2…well…are not backed up 🙈 …yet!

I was thinking to buy a couple of 14/20TB drives and install them in my parents and sister servers so that each server can backup data on the other 2. The backup will be done locally on all the servers with Backrest. How do I copy the backups across servers? Should I use Syncthing or is it better to use one repository per location on each Backrest? Or…other ideas?

Thanks!

    I’d do it like this:

    • borg backup

    • (optional) borgmatic for easier use, but a diy shell script might suffice

    • (optional) https://github.com/Ravinou/borgwarehouse for easier gui based “serverside” setup on each location

    • (if you have no way to reach the servers from the internet yet) set up dyndns for each location so you can reach them by domain

    • might need to setup portforwarding rules in the router of each location
