Hi everyone,
I’m running HestiaCP on a dedicated server with limited SSD space. I want to avoid storing backups locally on this disk.
Instead, I’d like to mount a remote directory (hosted on my NAS via SFTP or NFS) directly into the Hestia backup path (e.g. /backup
), so that HestiaCP continues to think it’s writing to a local path — but in reality, everything is stored remotely.
Is this supported or recommended?
- Any known issues with this setup?
- Will the backup system behave normally (retention, restore, rotation)?
- Should I mount before the cron job? Any special permissions required?
Thanks a lot for your help!
