I use restic with a local external drive that is then synced to backblaze b2 via rclone.
Why did you choose this option instead of directly syncing it with restic’s rclone backend?
An external hard drive is a lot faster than my internet connection and helps fulfill 3-2-1 requirements.
Does it though? I had a similar setup in the past, but I did not feel good with it. If your first backup corrupts that corruption is then synced to your remote location. Since then I have two separate backup runs for local and remote. But restic as well with resticprofile. Remote is a SFTP server. For restic I am using the rclone backend for SFTP since I had some connection issues with the internal SFTP backend (on connection resets it would just abort and not try to reconnect, but I think it got improved since then)
I only do automated
copyto B2 from the local archive, no automatedsync, which as far as I understand should be non-destructive with versioning enabled.If I need to prune, etc. I run will manually sync and then immediately
restic check --read-datafrom a fast VPS to verify B2 version afterwards.So no reliability issues with the rclone backend then?
Not actually used it. I started off doing local backups, B2 was an add-on way later down the road.
