So I got this spiderweb going, yeah? 12 VPS on 4 continents, not my circus not my monkeys if one dies but actually I do care about the data. Currently every node rsyncs to 2 others, chain style. It's actually not bad but double negative here: I don't got no central list of what lives where. If two nodes in the same chain die I am cooked XD
Looking for something lighter than rsync daemons everywhere. Restic keeps popping up. Anyone actually running it to B2 or similar with these tiny boxes? My smallest is 512MB RAM and I don't want to OOM it.
What you pay per TB? How's the dedup on mostly-similar system images?
Restic is the way to go and ive been running it for years and years on boxes smaller than yours and it just works and the dedup is magic and it chunks everything and only sends what changed and you point it at B2 or Wasabi or whatever and it encrypts by default and you dont need to trust the remote and the memory usage is pretty low and it spikes during initial backup but after that its smooth and you can prune with forget policies and keep daily weekly monthly yearly and it just runs via cron and you can check snapshots with mount or ls and the restore is fast too and I had a 256MB openvz once and it worked fine and the binary is static so no deps and you can even self-host the rest server if you want and then you dont pay cloud egress and its all in one binary and the docs are good and you should just try it and report back because im curious about your cost comparison with the spiderweb
