Question about backup (derpzilla.net)

Hey guys,

I would like to setup some backups.

I have a raspberry at home and 2 VPS’s. I’m trying to setup borgmatic on my raspberry to back it up and the 2 VPS’s but I’m not sure this can be done.

Right now I’m looking to back up the raspberry and use rclone to mount one of the VPS and back it up. The issue is with the second VPS, it has MariaDB running and I can’t see how to back it up remotely (the port is not exposed publicly). I don’t find anything about tunneling in borgmatic. Am I forced to install borgmatic on the VPS to back it up? If I do this, how can I merge the back up with the other ones?

Actually should I do this or have 3 separate borg repositories?

Lastly, my raspberry uses rclone to push to S3 and I don’t want the keys to be accessible on the VPS’s, that’s why I’m trying to have borgmatic only on my raspberry.

Thanks for your help!

For the cron dumps, you could plug the cron job into a monitoring service (Healthchecks, etc.) so you'd at least know when it fails.
