Backups and restores1 min readUpdated

Off-site backups to your own bucket (S3, Cloudflare R2)

A second, encrypted copy of your backups in a bucket you own, with your own retention.

On top of the nightly NAS backups you can send encrypted daily backups to your own bucket: any S3-compatible storage, with a shortcut for Cloudflare R2.

  1. Create a bucket

    At your storage provider. With Cloudflare R2: R2, Create bucket, then an API token with Object Read and Write for that bucket.

  2. Connect it

    Backups tab, Off-site backups: endpoint, bucket, access key and secret, and a repository password.

  3. Schedule

    Turn on the daily backup, choose the time (server time, default 02:30) and how many days to keep (default 14).

The repository password encrypts the backups. Without it they cannot be restored, not even by us. Keep it in your password manager.

  • Backups are encrypted on the server before they leave it.
  • Only changed data is uploaded each day, so they are small and fast.
  • Restores and downloads from your bucket work like the NAS ones, from the same tab.
