And one of the concerns was to keep the cost low to none and keep the resource usage to minimum as possible.</p> <h5 id="plan"> Plan <a class="heading-link" href="#plan"> <i class="fa-solid fa-link" aria-hidden="true" title="Link to heading"></i> <span class="sr-only">Link to heading</span> </a> </h5> <p>There were lots of backup options including ones with more features but since my server is a low-end thin-client, I decided to build a script my self using bash. And for the remote storage it was decided to use the mega.nz as it offers 20gb of encrypted storage by default.</p>
