Why did you choose this option instead of directly syncing it with restic’s rclone backend?
An external hard drive is a lot faster than my internet connection and helps fulfill 3-2-1 requirements.
Does it though? I had a similar setup in the past, but I did not feel good with it. If your first backup corrupts that corruption is then synced to your remote location. Since then I have two separate backup runs for local and remote. But restic as well with resticprofile. Remote is a SFTP server. For restic I am using the rclone backend for SFTP since I had some connection issues with the internal SFTP backend (on connection resets it would just abort and not try to reconnect, but I think it got improved since then)
I only do automated
copyto B2 from the local archive, no automatedsync, which as far as I understand should be non-destructive with versioning enabled.If I need to prune, etc. I run will manually sync and then immediately
restic check --read-datafrom a fast VPS to verify B2 version afterwards.So no reliability issues with the rclone backend then?
Not actually used it. I started off doing local backups, B2 was an add-on way later down the road.
