BorgBase offers simple and secure offsite backups based on Borg Backup. Here is why you should choose us over simple storage providers, if you have valuable data to back up:

• Get alerts on missed backups (email, Pushover, webhooks)
• Append-only mode to protect existing data
• Every repository in your account is isolated. No need to deal with sub-accounts.
• Server-side clean-up: We take care of regularly compacting old data to make your backup runs even faster and save space.
• Compression and deduplication to reduce space usage and transfers
• Zero trust: Your data is encrypted locally and we never see its contents
• Choose between EU and US backup locations for each repository or mix them as needed
• Choose the Borg version to use, with version 2 (beta3) tested to be up to 3-5x faster for some operations.
• All plans come with a flexible quota of up to 8 TB. So you can use the storage you pay for more effectively and cover temporary peaks.
• We have the best documentation with copy & paste commands for many platforms, like Synology and Ansible.
• Free expert support provided by maintainers of the software, who will help you solve most issues quickly.
• We maintain Vorta, our own desktop backup client and sponsor the development of Borg, Borgmatic and Pika Backup to give you a large selection of great open source clients to use.

Happy Halloween and always encrypt your backups! 😉

Currently we automate all of our backups using an Ansible role that manages our borgbackup server along with all of the borg clients. It adds/modifies scripts and crons on the clients (hypervisors) based on the variables we set and makes sure the clients can SSH into an unprivileged user and only access a specific directory as specified in .ssh/authorized_keys so it can push all of the data into a borg repo. Before it runs the borg portion of the script though, another tool on Proxmox (vzdump) backups up all of the VMs daily to the local disk and compresses them with pigz (multi-threaded gzip). Borg will then send all of the specified directories & files to our remote borg server for safe keeping.

I just added support for rclone so that after the all of the clients finish their backups for the day, it will do a weekly rclone sync on the borg server to our bucket on Wasabi object storage. I picked Wasabi, because they don't charge for egress (outgoing bandwidth). So in the event of a major disaster and we've lost our borg server, we could retrieve our borg repos from Wasabi.
