I have always interpreted the 3-2-1 strategy to apply to copies of your data, not the number of backups (https://www.backblaze.com/blog/the-3-2-1-backup-strategy/)
As such, I’ve used two strategies over time. 1) Use BackupPC to backup local devices in the same building/LAN, and have a second BackupPC instance in a separate space also running backups of the same devices. ( 3 copies of the data: the source, one on local backup, one on remote backup. Requires good network speeds between your local site and your remote site. 2) Use BacukpPC to backup local devices to a NAS. Use NAS replication to push a copy of the BackupPC data to a remote device. -- Ray Frush "Either you are part of the solution T:970.491.5527 <tel:970.288.6223> or part of the precipitate." -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- Colorado State University | IT | Systems Engineer > On Jun 1, 2022, at 00:46, Sharuzzaman Ahmat Raslan <sharuzza...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > Hello, > > I have been using BackupPC for a long time, and even implement it > successfully for several clients. > > Recently I came across several articles about the 3-2-1 backup > strategy and tried to rethink my previous implementation and how to > achieve it with BackupPC > > For anyone who is not familiar with the 3-2-1 backup strategy, the > idea is you should have 3 copies of backups, 2 copies locally on > different media or servers, and 1 copy remotely on cloud or remote > server > > I have previously implemented BackupPC + NAS, where I create a Bash > script to copy the backup data into NAS.
