How I backup my servers
Bit of an adjacent issue, but why is backup of a typical home&#x2F;family network still not perfected in 2023?<p>What is needed (of the top of my head):<p>- runs on a nas, so it can coordinate the backups of the different machines<p>- nice browser based gui, with adequate security.<p>- can accomodate storage extensions for when space runs low<p>- backs up arbitrarily large files.<p>- uses VSS on Windows for snapshot consistency and to back up (permanently) open files<p>- uses global deduplication to save up significant space<p>- can do disk image as well as arbitrary file&#x2F;folder selection backups<p>- offers advanced retention policies with good out of the box defaults<p>- allows both server and user side throtteling and pauses<p>- offers bandwith limiter<p>- offers archiving<p>- auto client agent updates<p>- bootable usb smart restore to changed hardware<p>- no &#x27;call us for getting a price quotation&#x27;<p>- no complicated extras license needs for PC&#x2F;Server&#x2F;VM&#x2F;DB&#x2F;... , just a simple one site family non commercial use price.<p>Synology active backup for business, which I use now, goes there about 70% of the way. Any suggestions for alternatives?
