Remote Backup of Files Site to Site from Windows to Linux
-
I'd opt for restic or borg. Both do versioning and dedupe reall well and are pretty quick. One is Python and one is Go if you have any compliance to follow.

How would I achieve this Windows > Linux?

yeah sorry. I thought Borg had Windows support but it doesn't. You either have to run through WSL or something like Cygwin. Restic does support Windows though as it's written in Go.

I don't know if this even worth it, but is it possible to have borg or restic on the Linux server to remotely backup a Windows server?

Not natively I don't believe. You have to mount the remote end locally and back up that way.
-
However you can have just one repository for your backups. So it's not like you need a separate direcory for reach client, you can back everything up into one repo.

You want to make sure you have a LANless solution for this. Why not use wasabi / s3 for this?

I can't. My company won't allow it. They think that MPLS = security

Data in transit and at rest can be encrypted in S3

You're forgetting the sort of people @wirestyle22 works for are completely irrational.

France has some decent privacy laws so I woudnt say that is exactly true, and the EU is a very strong proponent of cloud architecture.
You might work for people who cant understand basic concepts like data privacy, which sucks.

Going LANless has a ton of advantages

I have tried to introduce a lot of things and my boss essentially told me to stop because nothing will ever be implemented. Then on my review one of the questions was what new technology I have brought into my company.

You reply with “solution X” but it was rejected by “person Y”

Yeah, and then bring up that "this was forbidden" and ask how they expect you to violate policy as part of your review and ask HR to have a look at how they are evaluating you based on your being insubordinate.

Just to add to this; if they expect you to this and your manager or environment is against it, you can document the dates/persons involved/recommendation and present that list during the next review.
