Is there any good zero-trust cloud solution out there? My dream would be something like #Restic that would put locally-encrypted blobs on any distant storage and would open it as a FUSE volume.
Does something like this exist? 🙏

Edit for clarification: I'd like to store files remotely, but with client-side encryption, so they're still safe if the remote server is compromised (and so I can backup them to another non-trusted server easily if needed).

Split my big "backup-verify-prune" script that runs on my homelab (and consumes quite a bit of bandwidth when running the verify) to three scripts.

Backup runs on homelab. If completed successfully, it will ssh to a VPS to run the verification. If that completes successfully, it will ssh back to to my homelab to trigger the pruning.

All steps are monitored, all accounts are locked down to the minimum they need to work. Secrets are stored in a (shared) vault.

Hoping to decrease my monthly bandwidth usage from 6+TB to something a bit lower - and speeding up the process, as the VPS has a lot faster internet connectivity than my home.

#homelab #restic

Sooo, #backrest is not really my thing either. You can't change the connection settings of an existing repository, which means no credential rotation and no clean way to handle IP changes when a server moves. That's a pretty fundamental limitation for a backup solution.

I'll take a closer look at #restic without relying on a frontend.

I'm also skeptical about #Borg #Backup and, more broadly, backup tools built on Python/Ruby/shell stacks. There's a lot of room for subtle breakage without strict type safety, and pushing performance-critical parts down into C/C++/ASM layers doesn't exactly inspire confidence either.

Makes me wonder what enterprise solutions look like under the hood. Apparently #Veeam is C#, which is actually a reasonable choice - but requiring a Windows server (and not being OSS) makes it a non-starter for me.

#DigitalIndependenceDay meets #WorldBackupDay (March 31st)! Backups are key to #digital #sovereignty. My 3-2-1 strategy: 3 copies, 2 media, 1 offsite — no #hyperscaler needed. I recently migrated from #BorgBackup to #Restic: better multi-repo flexibility, same solid encryption and deduplication. Offsite storage goes to a #Hetzner Storage Box, which is significantly cheaper than #AWS #S3 and the data remains in #Europe.

With a bit of sorcery #Restic has been updated in #Guix 0.9.6 -> 0.17.3

Maybe I'm blind but is there any way to monitor a running #resticProfile job?

I know for a plain #restic process I could keep a watcher attached to stdout and tell it to send me json status updates.

From what I gather resticprofile can toggle pre/post/success/fail hooks and write a statusfile after a job is done - I'm mainly interested in how far along a job is though..

Okay, fine I give up on my search for a macOS (preferably status-bar) GUI for #restic/ #rustic.

Everything out there seems to be tailored for the WebUI fanatics.

There's ResticScheduler which is great but missing a few crucial features like "abort if pre-run-script fails" as well as the ability to manage multiple backup tasks.

So I guess I'll have to bite the bullet and write my own launchd jobs and some #HammerSpoon or similar magic to monitor those jobs.

(P.S. I'm currently a happy #Arq7 user but the scanning phase for my local and cloud backup has become excruciatingly slow over the past year so I'm trying to once again "find a better thing")
