  • @PrettyFlyForAFatGuy@lemmy.ml Remote backups might be rough with that upload speed. For example, you will be looking at over 2 hours per GiB uploaded.

    I personally have a 3 node setup using kubernetes and I run longhorn for volume management. I do hourly snapshots, and then daily backups of all volumes to an additional drive on one of my 3 nodes with a simple NFS server which is also running in kubernetes. In longhorn I keep 2 replicas of every volume as well so losing one doesn’t hurt anything.

    I would imagine it would be pretty easy in this case to replace my local NFS with AWS storage and then I would have remote backups, but since I back up roughly 100 GiB per day that would be a little time consuming. At my 50 Mbps that’s about 4.5 hours, though remote backups could be done less often as a last resort backup.
