Tonight's home lab adventure: working with Kubernetes to get off-site backups working via a cron jobs, my NAS, and a sync agent to push that up to the cloud.

As an added bonus, I had to configure a service account so that the backup container can `kubectl exec` into the Paperless container to run document_exporter, which then taught me more about roles and service accounts.

Why isn't there an equivalent to zfs.rent in Europe :(

Boy, does a massive chunk of the Internet not realize that unlimited bidirectional gigabit Internet is not actually feasibly available for huge swaths of the population...

The closest I can get is 2000/200Mbps for $156/month through Comcast. And I'm in a fairly densely populated area.

(1000/100Mbps is $146/month, but the extra upload alone is probably worth the $10, even with just Gigabit networking in my house.)

What do folks like for Linux offsite backup providers?

I have a Linux desktop with 1-2 TB of data that I want backed up on someone else's servers. I'm currently using Crashplan but my primary use case is data corruption which leads to lost files, and crashplan won't show me a list of recently deleted files that I need to restore. (also they're more business than individual focused now)

Willing to pay, looking for recommendations.

To avoid another accidental deletion mistake, we've converted our offsite backup storage into Stack Overflow posts.

Due to our offsite backup solution involving posting USB keys to ourselves in 2nd class post, it will take two more days before we’re back online.
