Can anyone share if they are using PBS with remote backup storage only? I’d like to backup directly to an offsite location, so no backing up to a local drive and then syncing that to remote…
What are your considerations for restoring? I am hesitant to use PBS (on the same machine as my PVE) because with my current solution (restic), I only need to install PVE on a new machine and in addition, I’d need the static binary - and then I’m good to restore. If I’d use PBS, then I’d need to first install PVE, then PBS and only then I can restore…
It wasn’t reliable. Maybe they’ve fixed that, but I couldn’t trust it the way it worked then. It’s been a couple years though, so there’s that.
I guess it’s your call about whether a local is superfluous, but I find it pretty useful.
