I'm thinking of offsite back up solutions and I think i'll set up a server at my mothers house. Question though, I'm going to buy another server with the same specs and storage and install veeam on it like my local backup but I'm not going to fucking port foward my esxi instance through the internet. What's the best solution for this? I was thinking about setting up a WireGuard/OpenVPN tunnel that exclusively goes to the esxi instance.
Jacob Adams
Yeah, set up a tunnel.

since i posted it as the thread died, repost:
okay, i use truenas with 2x 16TB drives ina ZFS MIRROR pool. i have two datasets on this: media & data. each of these datasets has a smb share associated with them. so far so good and i can access everything as i want to.
when i mount these shares in Windows tho, it will show the wrong disk usage, pic related. left side is my windows, right one is my truenas ui. as you can see, the "free part" (7.83 TB) is correctly shown on both sides. it's the "overall disk space" that confuses me. Windows shows two different sizes (8.19 and 7.83 TB) while it should be something around 14.5 TB for both. any hints where i could look for the solution of this problem?
strangely enough, when i add another SMB share for the root dataset (which has both, media and data as childs), it still doesn't give me the whole share capacity

for a backup server?... why?
Grayson Morales
if you don't want to port forward on your mothers end, consider setting up a VPN server on your main host and letting the backup machine connect to that over VPN as a client
Jace Bennett
yeah I probably wouldnt do that, just the storage matters
yeah I like this idea, going with this
