I’ve been generally running various different ways of backing up files to my NAS (which then backs up to other locations…) - mostly syncthing for photos and large collections of files, but I tend to use rsync to push out config backups to the NAS once something’s working.
But, the NAS is only powered up a few times a day (to save on electricity costs), which is fine for manual pushes, but makes scheduling backups a bit tricky.
It dawned on me that it might be better for the NAS to pull the files via rsync instead of pushing them.
Anyone tried this route and have any advice?
Hey, so good points there thst I hadn’t considered at the time, I was only think of data… good point about the SSH keys, which is exactly what I would’ve done.
So, yeah, local backups on each device (kinda a good idea anyway) and then restricted pull from the NAS… nice…
