Phase-3: Cloud Backup

  • This is the stage where the data is stored in a cloud location from the local backup on Raspberry Pi to maintain a spare backup in a remote site (not in local)

  • This step includes sending the files to AWS S3 Bucket using the AWS CLI to configure the AWS Account on Linux, and AWS S3FS to maintain a synchronization of the files from the mount path of local backup to the S3 Bucket

  • The files in AWS S3 are now used by NextCloud (private self-hosted cloud service) which is hosted on AWS EC2 instan

  • Now the Cloud Backup can be viewed from anywhere in the world using the URL and proper authentication provided by NextCloud

Cloud Backup of the local storage

  • RAID only enables us to make the storage redundant in the hardware level.

  • So if we have a total hardware breakdown due to a power spike then we will the whole data

  • To avoid this, the data in the main drive is backed up in a Simple Storage Service or S3 bucket in AWS Cloud platform

  • Automatic synchronization is enabled using the appropriate tools

  • Based on the usage and retrival needs, the appropriate storage tier can be selected
