Comment on Advice for tiny NAS to store backups?

If you’ve got a copy of the data that’s local, why are you opening up ports? Just run the backup job internally.

I’m also not fond of using SBCs as a NAS, by nature their I/O is extremely limited. It will probably work as a backup, but man do I not trust a USB interface at all.

I also recommend not relying on email for notifications - too unreliable. I use the healthchecks.io docker image and have it send me notifications via Pushover when something fails.

Trust?

I’ll look into this thanks!
