Hi!
I want to bring backups "off-site". The easiest thing for me would be to use SSHFS to mount the off-site-filesystem.
Are you using such a combination?
How about the performance?Are you happy with that setup?
Thank you and best wishes

SSH FS perf won't be great (to say the least). Have you tried Mirror Backup?

@olivierlambert
My idea was/is to use "mirror backup", but in every case, I have to introduce the "remote-filesystem" to XOA.
So I have to- mount the remote-filesystem to "local"
- of use SMB/NFS
SSHFS was my idea to be able to mount the remote-filesystem and then to add a "mirror" to get the local backups offsite...
-
That would work
However, the perf level won't be terrific, but that might be enough to you -

Because SSHFS uses the SSH protocol, all the data transferred between the server and client needs to be encrypted and decrypted. This means there's a slight drop in performance compared to NFS, and it puts a bit more strain on the CPU of both the client and server. But SSHFS can be handy for accessing remote files on a temporary basis. It may be enough for you.

I'm using zfs & syncoid to pull my XOA backups to another location of a 1Gb/s link:
--------------- Mon 21 Feb 2022 08:00:01 - syncing ------------- Sending incremental tank/mbox5/xoa-vm-backup@syncoid_iron.ion.lu_2022-02-20:08:00:02-GMT01:00 ... syncoid_iron.ion.lu_2022-02-21:08:00:02-GMT01:00 (~ 1392.4 GB): --------------- Mon 21 Feb 2022 10:19:27 - done -------------183.37MB/s over 1Gbit/s Link sounds great.

BTW, you have now mirror backups to do this, and it's also pretty fast

@olivierlambert
I am trying the same, currently, but ZFS-sync seems to be a lot faster, than the "backup-mirror", but has the limitation of not "selecting", what to sync.Additional to this, ZFS can do encryption AND compression at the same time.

Some time ago I read "ZFS - the billion dollar file system" and the more time I spend with it, the more I think that's true
