Host backup

What's the best way to back up my entire host dedi? Any existing solutions out there?

DawsonOP•2/13/25, 9:45 PM

And how often do I store backups + how long do I keep old backups for? I'm looking at using hetzner S3 atm

dont

ProGamingDk•2/13/25, 10:17 PM

hetzner s3 doesnt really have any redeemable qualities

ProGamingDk•2/13/25, 10:17 PM

expensive, less regions/nodes, etc

ProGamingDk•2/13/25, 10:18 PM

traffic costs

PProGamingDk expensive, less regions/nodes, etc

DawsonOP•2/13/25, 10:18 PM

expensive?

ProGamingDk•2/13/25, 10:18 PM

comparatively yes

DawsonOP•2/13/25, 10:18 PM

it's 5.99 a month, much cheaper than R2/AWS

DawsonOP•2/13/25, 10:18 PM

I will rarely have egress traffic

ProGamingDk•2/13/25, 10:18 PM

backblaze, idrive s3

DawsonOP•2/13/25, 10:18 PM

ingress is free

ProGamingDk•2/13/25, 10:18 PM

DawsonOP•2/13/25, 10:18 PM

@atom

ProGamingDk•2/13/25, 10:19 PM

its also eu only, a beta product imo

ProGamingDk•2/13/25, 10:19 PM

and with less track record

DDawson it's 5.99 a month, much cheaper than R2/AWS

ProGamingDk•2/13/25, 10:19 PM

you did compare it to the most expensive options and with less features etc

DawsonOP•2/13/25, 10:20 PM

Yea it being new is quite scary, that's my biggest issue with it

ProGamingDk•2/13/25, 10:20 PM

like cloudflare r2 having edge caching

DawsonOP•2/13/25, 10:20 PM

Fair

DawsonOP•2/13/25, 10:20 PM

didn't know that, that's cool

ProGamingDk•2/13/25, 10:20 PM

dont you also have US nodes

DawsonOP•2/13/25, 10:21 PM

We will in the future

ProGamingDk•2/13/25, 10:21 PM

well wont you

DawsonOP•2/13/25, 10:21 PM

our second node will be US, first is EU

ProGamingDk•2/13/25, 10:21 PM

fair enough,

DDawson our second node will be US, first is EU

ProGamingDk•2/13/25, 10:23 PM

for that wouldnt you want a bucket for US then

ProGamingDk•2/13/25, 10:23 PM

which you cant with hetzner

DawsonOP•2/13/25, 10:23 PM

Alright I'll look into backblaze

DawsonOP•2/13/25, 10:24 PM

How do I backup the dedi to backblaze though? Is there some tool to do this

�

𝒟𝑜𝓂𝒾𝓃𝒾𝒸•2/13/25, 11:17 PM

I believe you can try snapshotting

DawsonOP•2/13/25, 11:23 PM

okay so basically

DawsonOP•2/13/25, 11:23 PM

restic + backblaze sounds good?

DawsonOP•2/13/25, 11:23 PM

Restic handles incremental and deduplication and all that

iRazvan2745•2/14/25, 5:27 PM

also dont use backblaze, you can get stuff 3x cheaper from bulkvm and running minio/garage

DawsonOP•2/14/25, 5:28 PM

jeez 3x cheaper waasn't a joke

DawsonOP•2/14/25, 5:28 PM

I will look into it, these prices are great. thank you

DDawson I will look into it, these prices are great. thank you

iRazvan2745•2/15/25, 8:58 AM

i recommend using garage instead of minio, it offers replication on multiple servers and it supports clusters

Do you have pelican/pterodactyl? or how are you running the server?

DawsonOP•2/15/25, 4:45 PM

ptero with a backend infront of it, we will be moving to custom for full release

DawsonOP•2/15/25, 4:45 PM

i have it made but it’s missing certain features

DawsonOP•2/15/25, 4:45 PM

and i need to ensure its 100% safe, maybe even safer than ptero

DawsonOP•2/15/25, 4:46 PM

seems fancy, i’ll check it out

"ptero with a backend infront of it"

IiRazvan2745 "ptero with a backend infront of it"

DawsonOP•2/15/25, 6:23 PM

hm?

iRazvan2745•2/15/25, 6:23 PM

What do you mean by that?

iRazvan2745•2/15/25, 6:23 PM

a backend isnt in front of something

DawsonOP•2/15/25, 6:23 PM

The user never actually uses pterodactyl. They use our custom panel and our custom backend.

Our custom backend talks with the pterodactyl API and further manages the server from there
