Comment on How to send backups on multiple location?

  You can do it that way, but I don’t see how that’s more secure. Fewer server bits to maintain I guess?

    I think what he means is that if your backup is triggered from your main server and your main server is compromised the backups can also be attacked immediately. If the backup is requested from the backup machine you will at least have the time between the attack and the next backup to prevent the attack from reaching your backup machines.

  I’m sorry, but I still don’t understand what you mean. Could you please elaborate bit? Thanks!

    You configure the backup systems to connect to the device to be backed up. The idea is if something bad happens on the main machine it won’t impact the backups
