As the title says… FYI, I’d be looking to buy two plans because I have trust issues… I need it backed up to a different server, in case things hit the fan. Looking for at least 500G but the more the better. Only a handful of users. I don’t have a location preference.
Nextcloud = E3-1230v2/16GBRAM/2x6TB @ Seattle
Backup = E3-1230v2/16GBRAM/2x6TB @ Dallas
Each server is a HW RAID1 with rsync to backup run once a day.
There is also an offsite backup routine but that is classified.
I could tell you, but then I would have to…yeah.
This is our enterprise production environment file server.
We’re a provider, so we host it ourselves
I always worry about rsync to sync /dev/null. Like if something bad erase file erase these file and you sync them, your are still fucked. Of course you have your offsite backup, but probably same issues or sync less often.
Had one on vultr for a while using their self installer, cancelled because I wasn’t able to get nextcloud chat working usefully, might try again on my Virmach vps. I want a geographically nearby server to keep voice latency low and while I’ll use it for occasional photo and similar small uploads, I don’t need a big storage server behind it.
I think the problems I had were due to some limitations in Android and maybe in Firefox. I wasn’t able to get voice chat to work at all with these clients. Text chat worked ok but that was less interesting. This was a few months ago, not eons back. But I might try again. Thanks.
