I’m strongly considering adding another backup location in the form of an old Raspberry Pi and a USB HDD.
I want the Pi to exclusively use the available network to connect to my Wireguard Server, so other devices (local to the Wireguard Server and remote connected to the server) can use it as a secondary backup location.
I’m kind of worried about a scenario, where my network is compromised and, through the VPN connection of the Pi in the external network, the external network is as well.
What are the best practices to secure such a setup?
Use object storage and enable immutability for the backups. If they compromise your site they shouldn’t be able to delete your backups unless they have the NAS password too.
Great suggestion to secure the backups themselfes, but I’m more concerned about the impact an attacker on my network might have on the external network and vice versa.
