For example I have a ubuntu server 20.04 with 200gb disk and 150gb of that storage is full.

And I want to backup the data in this system to a remote system.

  • Is there a way to push all the data to S3 async?
  • If I want to target a docker db and files inside a docker what should I do?
  • I already have a backup system but as in this example when the storage is not enough. process will be cut in half when the system tries to save files to local file system.

What ways do I have to be able to save my system to a remote system? I have more than 100 servers like this and some of the servers are like 50gb full in 200gb and some are 1.3tb full in 1.6tb. So because some servers are this way. I am asking here.

  • i'd try to free up the space first: `docker system prune --all --force --volumes` & `apt-get clean`, etc.. then worry about syncing files... – alexus Aug 03 '23 at 14:07
  • @alexus My issue is I can't cleanup any space. Those files are our user's media files so There is no way I can delete them – Yusuf gndz Aug 03 '23 at 14:48
  • First you determine how much total space you need for a backup of all your machines. Then you create a system which has that amount of total space free. Then you backup all files to that system. How hard can it be? I also don't see why local free space should be a limiting factor when doing a remote backup . – paladin Aug 03 '23 at 14:52
  • hm you may use duplicacy to push from inside, or veeam can do the job from outside – djdomi Aug 03 '23 at 15:26

    @paladin many backup techniques rely on making a local copy first, compressing in place, and then moving the compressed files because they use `gzip`. @Yusuf gndz a simple option is to mount an external drive with NFS and then `rsync` to it. – tsc_chazz Aug 03 '23 at 15:28
  • @tsc_chazz In my opinion those are not backup-programs, those are trash programs. Delete this useless shit and use better programs or mechanics. rsync & Co can and should compress data while transferring on-the-fly. – paladin Aug 03 '23 at 15:31
  • Any source for remote backup? In my case I don't want to store backup files in the server I am going to backup. I will be checking rsync. Also because I need like more than 100tb backup storage is it possible to use s3 or do you have any recommendation? – Yusuf gndz Aug 03 '23 at 15:40
