I have just set up MBL on my network, and am backing my computers up to it. However, I would like to also backup offsite so if there is a fire or natural disaster that destroys my building, I still have my files. How can I back up the files that are on MBL to another site or to the cloud?
The MBL doesn’t support off-subnet backups.
So there’s lots of options, but they’ll all require requisite technical know-how.
Possible Options:
-
On your network, establish a transparent L2 VPN tunnel to the location where the remote MBL resides. You can then use ordinary safepoints.
-
On your REMOTE network, establish port-forwarding connections between your remote router and the MBL to forward RSYNC / SSH, and then use RSYNC via command line on the source MBL to sync over to the remote.
-
Use WD 2go to manually move the files over to the remote device.
-
Use some other agent on a PC (or whatever) to do the backups between the MBLs.
Thank you. All of these options are above my paygrade, but I will find someone to help me weed through them and make it work.
Actually, I have researched and found instructions on setting up a VPN tunnel. Should it be incoming or outgoing?
