Today it's backup time :neobot_hyper: My old setup was all kinds of messy in regard to backups. Some BorgBackup here, some nothing elsewhere. Plan is to once again simplify things. A backup is of no use to me, if it's hard to use. All of my servers that hold important data run on ZFS, so I'll finally make use of ZFS snaphots and send/recv to have easy and consistent backups. For that I'll be copying the setup of @stefano, as is documented here: https://it-notes.dragas.net/2022/05/30/how-we-are-migrating-many-of-our-servers-from-linux-to-freebsd-part-2/ That means zfs_autobackup, running on a backup server. Most likely I'll set it up to pull backups from the other systems. I have not yet decided on whether to use some sort of ZFS encryption here, tbd. I'll use an OVH KS-Store server for this purpose. 4x4TB of HDD storage, which I'll turn into a pool with 12TB of usable storage. I already installed FreeBSD on it and started locking it down from most public access.
