@DustinB3403 I was considering the appliance from IX systems but I have a feeling the synology will be more cost effective.

Thank you @DustinB3403, that looks like a good option. I believe I can also go with CrashPlan through a FreeNAS server also. I'll weigh my options.

@DustinB3403 I am not sure how I would do that, I have the option of backing up the application data (content stores, databases, etc.) to S3 from the VM using backup tools for the applications I am running. I was thinking it would be easier to manage backups using the XenOrchestra Delta Backups. I can push these to a local machine and to a remote location. I just wanted to have an off-site backup of the local VM's I am running.

@DustinB3403 I am not sure what you mean by that, do you mean an NFS SR on the Xen Host?

@scottalanmiller I was trying to use Amazon S3 through AWS Storage Gateway but I realized you need a client from Amazon to do that. The only thing I see possible is Amazon EFS, it's just more expensive storage than S3. If you guys have any other recommendations for off-site storage let me know what you use.

By the way, @scottalanmiller and @DustinB3403 you guys did a great job with the script. I ran it yesterday for the first time on a fresh Ubuntu 17.04 install and it worked perfectly! Thank you guys for putting that together.

@DustinB3403 I was looking to see if anyone has been able to do backups to something like Amazon S3.

Is anyone here using the NFS function for off-site backup?
