Where do you guys store your DB backups?

[macdonjo3]

I have a bunch of SQL backups that I want to chuck on a server. Is there any sort of server or provider you guys like for purely holding backups?

Nothing major in size - max maybe 10GB each but I have a handful of servers and DBs.

I'm pretty horrendous with my backup processes so I'm down to learn someone's system or process but right now I just kind of want to scp them to a central location.

S3 Glacier? Something else?

from cost perspective, s3 glacier works out pretty good. we researched a lot of different providers and ended up using S3 G for our cold backup.

S3 Glacier also if you're using MongoDB Atlas they offer backups

Does The host you're using have backup service? Or you can use S3

Why would you pay for just a 10 GB backup plan? Google Drive offers 15 GB of storage capacity for free...

Store it in a few places if it is super important.
S3 Glacier, Backblaze and Wasabi

I'm not sure if you're sarcastic or if you actually aren't sure.

Google Drive doesn't offer any sort of tools to backup data of that nature. They have an API but I rather something that easily runs in command line. Happy to explain further if you're actually unsure.

recently It literally took me 2 min to write a corn job that encrypts a list of files then upload it to Gdrive. i just don't see the point of paying for something you can have for free mate.

Personally I use a hetzner server and I run backups to it via rsync then have the backup server locked down by IP address.

I also use an open source Linux based software that does automatic daily backups of sql along with retention. Can’t remember what it’s called right now.

Some people value their time over money. I rather pay the 10 cents a month to store it properly. Backing up a server to G Drive sounds like some script kiddie stuff. Then if I want my staff to access it I share my Google account? I'll pay the 10 cents.
