So, I run three VPS and one rack in the closet. Currently I have Duplicati running on all four servers. What I would like to do is have one central server back up all four servers and store the backups in an offsite repository.
I’d prefer something with a good GUI. I know you purist get a hard on thinking about the CLI, and while it is a very powerful aspect of Linux, I still like a GUI.
What are my options?
Side note, I wanted to look at Bacula but their site seems nonexistent. Is Bacula defunct?
It sure will handle a remote VPS, it’s just not as automatic to set up as it is with PVE.
I put this off for a long time, but I finally did it this weekend.
Basically, you install the
proxmox-backup-client
utility and then run it viacron
or asystemd timer
to do the backup however often you want.You’re responsible for getting the VPS to communicate with your backup server (like pretty much any self-hosted service), so some sort of VPN between them would be good. I used NetBird for that part and I have a policy that allows access from the client to PBS only on TCP port 8007.
