@whitequark@mastodon.social also quite expensive. costs for storage and bandwidth, and it uses AWS so you're getting *Amazon* bandwidth costs...

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@whitequark" class="u-url mention">@<span>whitequark</span></a></span> yeah, i&#39;ve been eyeing rustic as it seems to have better support for an append-only server</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@whitequark" class="u-url mention">@<span>whitequark</span></a></span> fwiw in the odd chance you&#39;re soliciting suggestions, I&#39;ve been very happy with rsnapshot for a long time, so feel free to ask if you have any questions.</p>

<p>i&#39;m looking at restic</p><p>it can use s3 as a backend. that&#39;s cool. let&#39;s say i don&#39;t want a compromised machine to be able to delete backups, so i will follow the principle of least privilege to set up access for it</p><p>does restic documentation give me the set of permissions it requires? absolutely the fuck not</p><p>why can people not make good backup software.</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mas.to/@zzt" class="u-url mention">@<span>zzt</span></a></span> yeah i&#39;m looking at it</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@whitequark" class="u-url mention">@<span>whitequark</span></a></span> maybe try burp (backup and restore program)? It’s rsync-based.</p>
