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’m sorry, but I still don’t understand what you mean. Could you please elaborate bit? Thanks!

      You configure the backup systems to connect to the device to be backed up. The idea is if something bad happens on the main machine it won’t impact the backups
