![]() ![]() I expected to be able to restore and forget a given snapshot id like for the rest server or onedrive or sftp backend. I used Artifactory Cloud (Trail) via its WebDAV integration using rclone What backend/server/service did you use to store the repository? Restoring or forgetting a particular snapshot id did not work, restoring latest or using the fuse mount worked as expected. I initialized the repo, backed up data and tried to restore a given snapshot id. I tried to store my backups on Artifactory via its WebDAV integration using rclone: ![]() Restic 0.14.0 compiled with go1.19 on linux/amd64 If this is not the right location, I am sorry, but I wanted to report the problem as I would search for issues on this repo if I would search for an existing bug. I am not really sure if my problem is a limitation of Artifactory's WebDAV implementation, a bug in rclone or in restic. Regarding the additional overhead of running the rest server, it looks quite straight forward from the docs, also not to many releases to keep up with.īut from your answer I get that you would prefer the rest server over sftp, I think I try that out as well, thanks If that is the more reliable approach, I could go down that route and maybe setup rsync to a second VPS in a different region to have a backup if the primary backup server goes down. I might have done a user error back than, afterwards I switched to sftp and saw no issues any more.īut I am also not dealing with terabytes of data, mostly database dumps and config files so just provision a decently sized VPS would not be that big of a problem. (sry cannot recall the exact message from my head any more, might need to check details again later) Initially, I had tried it once and noticed some wired behavior that I could only restore the latest snapshot, if I used an ID instead of latest, there was an error message that this ref was found multiple times and the restore failed. Has anyone used Artifactory as storage backend yet and can share experiences? I might need to test, if it can be used via it’s webdav API in more detail. I don’t have an existing S3 account I can just use, so I thougt Artifactory would give me the closest user experience in comparison as I don’t need to do capacity planning on my end nor need to host it.īut I did not find a tutorial/documentation for Artifactory or anyone mention using it. My main concern is a robust backup process of data and low maintenance overhead for hosting the solution. Yes, I had restic/rest-server in mind, thanks for correcting that. Thanks for your fast and detailed response. Overall, will using rclone targets be slower as they require another binary in the mix? I guess it is not that different than shelling out to sftp. I also have access to an Artifactory deployment, it might work via rclone’s webdav integration, but not sure how reliable and performant that would be in comparison (but I would not be responsible for hosting that backend ). Or is S3 via minio the preferred approach? If I turn on TLS on the restic server, will that be comparable speed-wise to sftp? In case of rsync ssh encryption slows down performance in comparison quite a bit, will that be similar with restic over sftp compared to restic server? The restic server approach sounds a bit like using rsync for encrypted data via the unencrypted rsync daemon vs rsync over ssh. ![]() In case of http, could I leave out the auth credentials and run in append only mode and forget and prune against the local repo from the target VPS? If using another VPS as target, I could also run the restic server, it’s behind a firewall so I guess http would be OK as backup content is encrypted anyhow. What does the community recommend as preferred target option? Are all target options considered equally good? I guess sftp is not that fast, but works without running additional software on the target host and securely over untrusted connections. I am wondering about which target option would work best for that use case, I currently prototyped backups via sftp and pruning against the local repo from the target server which seem to work so far and even without rclone. So I thought about using restic also to backup VPS data. I successfully used restic to backup my personal data to onedrive via rclone from my Synology NAS (quite cool by the way, Hyperbackup does not offer that target ). ![]()
