That’s an interesting POV but I hate the concept of egress costs in principle – it is sort of like having the data held captive for ransom. Don’t let an egress fee be a deal breaker for an otherwise great cloud storage provider.
For example, Backblaze B2 charges $0.01/GB/month for downloads, so restoring 1TB of data (likely equal to at least 2TB of uncompressed files for anything but music and videos) would cost $10 – a small price to pay if recovering from a cloud backup is the last resort. I’ve used a lot of cloud storage services, but not Wasabi, so the only advice I can offer is that because you’ll have your own NAS as your first line of defense, even if there were an egress fee the cost would be reasonably low. Some people prefer to use just one program for all parts of the process, while others don’t mind combining Duplicacy with rsync, rclone and/or some other transfer tool.
Rsync, rclone and even the cloud storage provider’s own sync client could be used to mirror Duplicacy’s storage archive to the cloud. Efficiency also increases as more devices are added to the same storage destination on the NAS. Yes, as far as backing up to the NAS first, then uploading from the NAS to the cloud. Would the best practice be something like backing up to the primary destination (NAS) first using duplicacy, followed by a simple sync of the data into the cloud, from the NAS?Īnd then, is that what the copy task is for? and how does the copy differ from something like rclone 's copy - if at all? It is my understanding that if I just backup (using duplicacy) from PC → NAS it already creates chunks at the destination, and then, if i try to backup (to the cloud) the chunks themselves using duplicacy i probably end up with something inefficient -īut - backing up separately to the two destinations also feels a bit weird - since it seems like a lot of duplicate work is being done (and a lot of unnecessary strain on the PC and its HDD’s)
What I’m still not sure is what would be the best practice in terms of the backup flow -Īt least some of my important data would sit on my own desktop computer – and I would wanna use the NAS as a backup destination for it, but - I would also want the same data to be backed up to the cloud I’m also pretty sure I want to use Wasabi as the (main) cloud backup since I like the fact that I can easily create buckets with different regions on the same account there (and the no-cost for egress) So, I’m about to set up my first-ever NAS soon (already ordered 3x16TB HDDs ) based on a Synology system (420+)
