Alright, many have already posted but I'm gonna give this a go. :P 2oFB runs on a Proxmox VM. So first, I have a PBS [Proxmox Backup Server] that runs every night. I save 1 yearly, 1 monthly, 1 weekly, 1 daily backup forever.

Then, I also run a backup of the entire bbS drive locally - well, to my NAS but just an rsync backup. This runs weekly. 

I can access that local backup if any files get corrupted, or whatever - any Mystic issues that pop up I could pull from them to fix anything.

In case of a full failure, I'd use the first 'good' backup from the PBS - this should be yesterdays... but if theres some issue with that, I'd revert to a week back - if theres an issue there, a month back... and so on.

:P I haven't had to test my backups yet - but I do occasionally spin up a test VM on a second PVE [Proxmox] node to make sure I can drop one of the PBS backups in and get right back up if need be. The 1 daily has never failed - I think with my setup I can just revert to yesterdays bbS if theres ever an issue...

Oh yea; I also temporarily save 7 days worth of PBS backups - so... I could go to day2/3/4/5/6/7 if I miss the FAILURE for more than 24 hours, etc.

What ya'll think - is 2oFB safe?
