So a while ago (four months) I migrated from Hetzner to Jotta - it’s been smooth sailing until last month, when I got a bunch of errors thrown at me.

Moving from Hetzner Storageboxes to Jottacloud

A year ago I migrated from Backblaze B2 to Hetzner Storageboxes. That worked fine, but passing over the 5TB border made my offsite storage rather expensive (again). So another round of investigations was called upon.

Using Hetzner Storageboxes as backup targets for Restic/Rclone

2 minute read

For my offsite backup strategy I’m relying on rclone and restic. Rclone is being used to encrypt/copy backups taken by Proxmox Backup Server (which takes backups of the VM’s/Linux Containers running on Proxmox VE, deduplicates and compresses the data) to remote storage, while restic is used to do deduplication/encryption and copying of data stored on my NAS to remote storage.

Replacing Crashplan

I’ve been a longtime user of Crashplan, an easy-to-use cloud backup solution. It works well, and it used to work also on nearly any platform that had a java run-time and some add-on opensource libraries. I’ve used it for some time on my raspberry pi to automatically backup my data to the cloud. (Crashplan on ARM (the architecture of the raspberry pi) is an unsupported configuration though).
