Need help with a backup solution (lemmy.sdf.org)

Previously using 2 synology devices - one at my home location for NAS duties and another at a remote location for an off-site backup destination. I had a small army of nucs doing various hosting things. This worked well. But as many who self host can appreciate - just because it works doesn't mean you can't burn it all down and try something else. That's where I am. I'm now running everything on a dell r720 server running proxmox and truenas. I have a nuc at the destination with proxmox hosting a VM of windows and Ubuntu. I would like to mostly recreate the back up solution of the synology - which is basic incremental file backups on a schedule with or without versioning. And ideally I'd like to run this through a wireguard (or similar) tunnel to avoid opening up too many ports at the destination.

I've tried some things but can get anything to reliably work (or work at all).

Open for suggestions.

Incremental BTRFS snapshots local
and via ssh to remote BTRFS volume.
Easy configured with btrbk.

  • rsync
  • btrfs snapshots
  • lvm snapshots
  • maybe proxmox itself has something built in?

No hands-on experience with Proxmox or TrueNAS but I do have a idea.

Get Proxmox Backup Server running, point VE storage to the Backup Server. In TrueNAS, open up a share as the destination for the Backup Server, and install wg within

On the remote NUC, install a TrueNAS VM and wg within, then create a backup pool. Connect the two TrueNAS instance together and create a remote sync in TrueNAS.

This setup will gives you 2 backup copies of your data, one local and one remote.

This might work but again I have no experience with Proxmox or TrueNAS. It's just an idea.

Borg for local data backups to backup share on nas. Proxmox takes guest snapshots. Rclone all of that to rsync.net. bonus, Borg can use the rcloned remote, if necessary, directly.

Personally I'd gravitate to a Veeam solution (which I use professionally at work) for anything Windows and Linux based.
Can also do copy jobs to offsite repos.
