Offsite Backups with Slow-ish Upload? (lemmy.world)

I have about 8TB of storage that is currently only replicated through a raid array. I occasionally sync that to another USB drive and leave that in a fireproof safe (same location).

I'd really like to do an offsite backup, but I only have 10Mbps upload. We are literally talking months to do a full backup.

How do others handle situations like this?

Idk what's offsite to you but if it's a controlled place for you (like from a friend or family member) you could simply bring your device one day and do the first copy there.

Otherwise maybe rsync a folder at a time.
