What sort of setup would you have for secure file storage on a VPS? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Purely a hypothetical for me; I don't have the means for a VPS or that many files. But in the future, if I'd want to use the 3-2-1 rule with a VPS subscription, what sort of software would I need to ensure that my files can't be accessed on the VPS and need off-site decryption keys? What kind of setup would allow you to access said files from a different device if the decryption keys are stored locally on it? People who've done something similar, how has that gone for you?

This is the way

@AlThePilcrow@lemmy.blahaj.zone I'm using restic to backup my NAS to a Hetzner storage box. (1TB for ~€3/month)

It's easy, and you can SSH into the box to verify what's actually there.

    Restic's dedupe is very good. I used to take uncompressed tars of whole systems and it would add only megabytes to the storage repo each time. Almost everything got deduped despite being in various tar files and very fast.
