Setup Unraid as a cloud backup server

[parzival30]

Hey guys, is there a way to setup an Unraid server as a cloud backup server? I would love to make it accessible by url to have clients to point to the url and backups would go over the internet to the Unraid server. Is this possible at all? 

 

Or would installing a docker as a backup server work? I'm trying to find backup server software that can backup client machines over the internet to my server, via straight to the Unraid server or via a Windows VM with a network drive mapped to the Unraid server storage. I would be fine with either. 

Thanks!

UrBackup is what I use.

Have you been able to get it to back up over the internet? I have UrBackup installed. But can't get the client to actually connect over the net.

Yep. I have the web interface reverse proxied with nginx, and the backup ports (55413-55415) directly forwarded through my firewall.

Thanks! I am trying those ports now. I was told on their forum that I only needed port 55415 forwarded. I'm testing now to see if it works or not.

Do you happen to run Unifi equipment?

Just access points. I have multiple WAN sites with access points all managed with a container on my server.

 

Why?

I have a full Unifi setup, UDMP SE, switches, etc. Was going to post a screenshot of my settings for port forwarding and see if I was missing anything.

Can you access the admin page from WAN? Are you downloading the client directly from that page? Have you set all the preferences to allow WAN backups?
