Well, you are right and that's why one should also support smaller stores like gog. However I think this is not valves corporate greed but more a hardware price increase thing. I think the reason why valve is okay to its customers is because its a private company and not a publicly traded one. The moment Gaben leaves and another head of the company moves valve to the stock market, the ship is wrecked.

Yes, but zfs snapshots are not an off-site backup which is more what i am looking for. Besides this, zfs snapshots are of course something i want to implement

You did not mention where the target of the borg backup is, but you want an external service. I believe there is a service that works wells with borg backup, but have not used it.

I did write that the borg backups would be stored on an external drive, sorry that this point wasnt clearer.

I basicly for the start have one big usb 20tb hdd drive (it was discounted and costed only little more than the 12 tb same brand one) to store my backups and i plan to get more drives when i can afford them. The idea with an additional machine i had as well, but thats maybe something further down the road.

the question is that for the start, if a borgbackup of the zfs pool on an external drive with all those services would work. I am a bit worried about their databases yucking up or something.

yes this is supposed to be an off site backup. I want to backup everything with this on an external drive (later more) and keep the drive first in another room. If i can later afford more drives i want to store on at a friends place

I have 4 HDDS drives running in RAID-Z1. But yeah, the zfs snapshots on the pool itself are a no brainer :) but good to hear that they work so well

Yes, but what i am asking is more if my proposed strategy would work for an off site backup.

But the snapshots are only on the ZFS filesystem? or do you mean i should replace the borgbackup with the zfs snapshots?

Dachte ich mir auch letztens öfters. Nicht mit allem vermutlich, aber die Richtung war schon besser.

aldi has a saltet caramel and a raspberry dark chochlate. Thats the shit.

I think the problem is the voting system itself. first past the post highly enocurages a two party system. third parties will only rise when one of the two big parties does a major fuck up which, considering the pedophile president, is hard to do at this point.

I love this :D

so you basicly also recommend getting a proper case and psu to fit everything into one machine?
