Yup, ended up going with oracle. Free is good for me, and im totally new to this so it doesnt really make a difference to me if theres a minor interface difference between 2 providers.
So, you do want to run rsnapshot on the Borg repository (the destination to which is backed up)? Both rsnapshot and Borg keep a history, so you are keeping a history of when the Borg repository had which history. This will not be particularly efficient nor “as intended”.
be aware that Borg does incremental backups on file chunks, while rsnapshot works on whole files. So if a large file changes, rsnapshot will duplicate the storage used.
a Borg repository is more like a database of chunks (similar to git), while rsnapshot recreates the original backup data.
As far as I know the borg backup store should only add new blocks as new files and remove them when you purge the last backup that uses that block. Obviously some of the metadata files are going to change and will be backed up more frequently but the main data should not.
Any idea if a self hosted all like this can be set as the default PDF viewer for a browser. Firefox and Chrome both have built in pdf viewer when clicking on a pdf, having it open in this instead would be amazing.
Just because it’s a bit different to what you asked, and no one else has said it, I’ve found great results with the Terramaster D5-300 and D4-300. Make sure you get the USB 3.1 type Cs, but I’ve been fine with the plain rather than ones loaded with RAID.
For every USB 3.1 socket on the back I get 5 drives, I can increase capacity incrementally, and for spinning rust they are faster than they could transfer anyway.
I’ve replaced my machine with a Dell USFF box now and it all works great.
Completely understand if it’s not your thing but you can add a drive box to your existing system without replacing anything. I’m currently up to 16 drives.
I host it in a Truenas BSD Jail, and the process was as straightforward as compiling and running any other Rust / Postgres project. Which error did you get?
Sure. My NAS I use for backups is also made from ancient desktop PC running ownCloud. The system is slow-ish by today’s standards, but since I had it already, I could invest in bigger SSD for data storage.
