For those of you running Unraid and backing up their data to Backblaze, how are you doing it?

I’ve been playing a bit with KopiaUI but what is the easiest and most straight forward way?

Bonus points if I can have the same “client/software/utility” backup data from non-servers (Windows, macOS and Linux) in my network to said Unraid server.

I don’t want to complicate the setup with a bunch of dependencies and things that would make the recovery process long and tedious or require in-depth knowledge to use it for the recovery process.

To recap:

Workstations/laptop > back up data with what? > Unraid

Unraid > back up data with what? > Backblaze

    crypt is pretty simple honestly, go through prebuild but it’s essentially just sitting on top of another remote. So I usually use the convention {remotename}-crypt. It’ll simply rename and encrypt anything and then pass it into the remove you already set up. A good way to test it is once you’ve copied some stuff over with the crypt set up try to mount it using rclone mount and try to read some of your files, it should be fine.

    Don’t forget to back up (securely, and obviously not on your encrypted share) your rclone config! if those keys are lost than so is your data.

      I don’t need the whole rclone.conf file right? Just the authentication stuff for the underlying remote, the password for crypt and the salt for crypt. If I have that shouldn’t I be able to recreate the access and subsequently the decryption key to be used on some other machine?

        I do, but it’s more of a don’t forget how it was made thing for me. I encrypted my file and put it on another cloud provider in case I lose it
