Comment on Should I use Restic, Borg, or Kopia for container backups?

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 backend. 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 copy to B2 from the local archive, no automated sync, 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-data from 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.
