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?

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

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
