This is basically a tool that can do certain file system commands such as ls, but also copy, diff, etc. If you want to sync two Minio servers this can be done by their "mc" tool. With the current tools, such as Duplicati, a backup of 50GB runs in a few seconds mostly (on windows at least) and the bandwidth to the remote site almost never is the bottleneck, it's more scanning for new files, etc. Hmm, good question, but personally, I don't make backups on the same location as where I store my data, so I'm directly backing up to the remote location.

I guess I would need one public server to do the initial connecting, but it would help a lot if my off-site server could be anywhere and not require extra hassle to make it publicly accessible. I think rclone looks like a good option for that part.ĭo you know of any way to connect to servers that aren't exposed to the internet? Like Crashplan could connect and send files between any two computers.

I think the second option seems better as it only requires the backup to be run once, and the source computer doesn't need to be turned on for the off-site sync to run. Sync the already backed up files between two Minio servers. Make duplicati backup directly to two Minio destinations.Ģ. How do you plan to setup local and off-site backups?ġ. I'm also looking at using Duplicati with Minio as the backend. I've been researching a Crashplan replacement setup lately as well and it's nice to see that someone else came to the same conclusion :) Combined with the articles that kind of rounds up everything you need to be able to build this "solution"! I've produced some videos about the hardware and of the install. If anyone is looking for the same, hopefully this is helpful: Link to the first blog article explaining my setupĪnd of course I'll be here to answer any questions or comments you might have! I've written detailed tutorials on everything: It's running a private S3 storage backend server with Duplicati as the client but because of the S3 storage backend, any backup software that talks S3 (and most do now a days) can connect to the system and use it! So I created my own DIY Cloud Backup solution which is fully multi-tenant and multi-client for those tenants! Especially if you can/want to share it with a few friends or family, it quickly becomes much cheaper and flexible then any cloud offering out there. Paying for accounts per computer is crazy in my eyes. But I also want to backup the laptop of my farther and mother, just like I've been doing for the past many years. And I have two desktop computers, and 3 laptops and a server in my house alone. Especially the need to be able to backup multiple computers to a cloud account seems lost after Crashplan family. Just like a lot of you, I've been struck with Crashplan home Family shutting down.Īfter doing some quick calculations I found that most current cloud offerings are either way more expensive, or very restrictive.
