Does this have the ability to mirror to an encrypted remote? I'm looking for something like this for a simple home storage server, but emphasis on being able to replicate to something like B2 Storage for cheap backup.

Currently Infinit.sh has my attention the most, but it's quite young still.

edit: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12125344 this thread seems to be talking about what i want. With that said, i'm not yet sure if `mc mirror` supports Backblaze, as that (per price point) is my prime need

Current opinion is that "borg" is the holy grail of backup schemes ... it takes attic, which fixed all of the duplicity shortcomings, and improved on that ... [1]

We[2][3] tend to agree with that.

One reason it might not work for you is that we are an order of magnitude more expensive than B2, so perhaps that's a better bet for you. On the other hand, $7.20 per year for our smallest borg account is almost as close to zero as your B2 minimum order would be, so ... who knows.

One upside of choosing our service is that you can choose your location (US, Zurich, HK, etc.)

Please don't do that, its childish and unimpressive.

There's no support for that service. Makes sense to ward people off who might need support at the headline.

[rsync]

Just to be clear, there is no support for the deeply discounted borg/attic accounts at rsync.net.

Regular rsync.net accounts have full, unlimited support provided by a US-based engineer. As in, an honest to god unix engineer. Sometimes, but rarely, me.

Minio is object-storage server. You can use https://github.com/restic/restic to encrypt and mirror to remote minio server. For more help https://docs.minio.io/docs/restic-with-minio

Looks like restic doesn't support backblaze, as of yet: https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/512

[howeyc]

True, but if you have the space to hold the encrypted data, you can "rclone"[0] that to most clouds.

That's really cool, appreciated! Surprised it doesn't offer an encrypt feature, seems really useful for the given featureset

Rclone recently got support for on-the-fly encryption, it will be in the 1.33 release.

We have documented how to use Minio with Rclone https://docs.minio.io/docs/rclone-with-minio-server hope it helps.

I've been wondering about this for that use case myself: https://ipfs.io/

[fizzbatter]

Yea IPFS is awesome, i have often pondered about the idea of using it for an internal family storage.

[espadrine]

Does it support encryption yet? Also, you'd have to auto-pin all your files, or risk losing them.

I think GlusterFS (battle-proof, but file-wise and assumes an administrator with access to everything) assumes or infinit.sh (robust ACL, but young, not open-source) better addresses those use-cases.

[diggan]

Encrypt the files before adding to IPFS and then decrypt after receiving them. Support for encryption will be built-in into IPFS in the future but for now, this solution works. There is a issue tracking this here: https://github.com/ipfs/faq/issues/6

Also, when adding files yourself, those files become pinned by the default. Getting files won't pin automatically however. You have some more information about pinning here: https://github.com/ipfs/examples/tree/master/examples/pinnin...

[espadrine]

Ah, good to know. Still, you end up having to develop your own ACL system if you have multiple users (eg. family). Especially, shared directories are tricky.

[fizzbatter]

I was actually thinking of using a custom network, not truly IPFS.
