Is this possible via disk transfer?
We don't have the upload bandwidth for direct transfer to the cloud.
Currently we do vzdump backups to a local NAS and sync those to an
attached external USB drive, which is rotated offsite once a month. We
keep a total of six drives in rotation that way.
Is there anyway to do this with PBS? I can't see it myself, it seems to
be entirely orientated around network transfer.
Thanks.

You could duplicate that folder to the external drive, as a backup copy of that Datastore and keep it off-site. I'll look into that, though I'd be concerned regards file locking and sync to disk issues. Worth testing out though. > You would need a PBS to read from the external drive in case of a on-site disaster. Something like that might be simlar to what you do now, except that you need to run a PBS somewhere on-site (possibly in a VM or CT). Actually running it in a VM now for testing! -- Lindsay ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread
