Comment on Help with my Proxmox-Setup

I have different vms which all write to an smb mount.
Then I have another VM that runs duplicati and mounts that smb share, but also another one just for the backups. And only this duplicati container has access to the backup share, which kinds isolates my backups for security reasons. The only thing still involved and able to read and manipulate my data is the router which can see all the traffic.
Now idk if this is the best setup, but it feels secure to me and it works for me. Maybe more experienced people can chime in to agree or disagree.

i need to look into duplicati. never heard of it before. i guess best thing noe is to install pbs and look from there. my goal would be to have one copy of my data on site and one in another place.
Duplicati is at it’s base just a fancy ui for backups as opposed to custom bash scripts.
It does support s3 storage, SFTP, ftp, and a bunch of other stuff so this might actually be on point for your off-site backup design.
Of course off-site backups are superior. If my home burns down I’m fked. I do use different hdds though, so at least there’s some security isolation in that. Also if one of them breaks, the other one doesn’t necessarily.
