Hello everyone,

​

I am looking for a way to realize the following backup strategy:

​

1. i want to copy my gdrive to an external hard disk.
2. I want to upload from my external hard disk to another cloud
storage.

​

At the moment I have implemented the whole thing with rclone, which
also works well. But I would like a solution with a WebUI.

​

The following information about my setup:

\- I have a small server in the basement running Proxmox.

\- I have OMV running on it as a VM and Portainer runs on top of OMV.

\- I would like to solve the whole thing via Portainer, as I can make
my USB hard disk available directly via OMV, without the detour via a
network share.

\- I always want to keep gdrive as the source data set, as I can
access it from anywhere. The second cloud backup and the local backup
are only for redundancy.

​

I have tested duplicati, but unfortunately this does not solve point
1. The UI of rclone doesn't really seem suitable to me either.

​

Does anyone have any ideas?

​

Thanks a lot!

You could try borgbackup with Vorta?

Thanks, I will have a look at Borg with vorta.
I want to keep gdrive for my "everywhere accessable" cloud storage. I
just need to move files automatically

Ah, then you're probably going to have to stick with rclone or rsync?
Or Syncthing, which I think has a UI.

Borgbackup is for creating encrypted repositories; if you want to have
the files accessible at the destination, it wont do what you need.

The files on destination are just a pure backup, nothing that must be
accessible.

Just in case you don't know, rclone comes with an experimental web GUI
that may be enough for your use case:

Thanks, I already tried it, but it's really experimental.
