[GLLUG] offsite backup recommendations?

[James Roberts]

Not what you asked for, but after multiple issues with various suppliers 
we no longer use anything in the UK or Ireland or Iceland or Europe 
(apart from our own structure, for commercial clients only - not an offer!)

We are currently planning on a move to Backblaze B2 for all Linux *third 
level* DR purposes. We've been monitoring them for some years and they 
*appear* solid... tbc.

It's priced in $ and its cheap.

There's plenty of Linux tools to talk to it (check out the clients page).

As many have said, you should encrypt at source.

This complicates single file recovery of course :)

So I'd look at your Synology for second level backup and restore and use 
something like Backblaze B2 (or perhaps Amazon Glacier if not in a 
hurry) for third level...

There is no perfect solution, just things that work depending on your 
requirements.
