Backup Server Hosting

With standard backup tools. Restic, BorgBackup and rclone all back up to a remote server over SSH, with deduplication and encryption built in. With full root access you install whichever you prefer and script it to run on a schedule.

If you encrypt before uploading — which the standard tools do — the server stores only ciphertext, and the keys never leave your hands. Combined with a no-KYC, offshore VPS that carries no identity, the backup is private by both encryption and jurisdiction.

Size for your backup sets plus the retention history you want. Incremental backup tools store many restore points efficiently rather than a full copy each time, so the disk need is smaller than you might expect. A mid-tier VPS suits most; larger plans hold big or multi-system backups.

An offsite backup must be genuinely elsewhere to do its job. An offshore VPS puts the copy in a different location and a different jurisdiction — one you choose for strong data-protection law — so it survives whatever happens to the original and sits under law you trust.

Yes. With full root access you schedule the backup tool to run on its own — hourly, daily, however you choose — so the offsite copy stays current automatically. A backup you have to remember to make is one you will eventually forget; automate it.
