So I started to look for alternatives.įor the backup solution, I wanted to use duplicity. While storage in itself was not too expensive, the cost of retrieving the data (in case you want to restore, which is the point of having a backup, right?), was kind of prohibitive (for the budget I had in mind).
Solution should be as cheap as possible (or ideally free!)įor the offsite storage I first though of using AWS Glacier, a cloud storage meant for cold data that you archive, and don’t need to retrieve often, but the cost was not so cheap. Solution should be portable, so same solution would play nicely with the servers, not mess with their OS (dependencies,…). Solution should be secure, so support encryption. Solution should support some kind of backup policies (full, incremental, and retention time). Backup should be offsite, preferably in the cloud. 
This is about a small personal initiative: I was looking for a solution to backup some Linux servers that I have, at home and in the cloud.
