(Quote) Yes, the most important part of backups: * Verify that the created backups work and contain everything to recover from a disaster * Monitor that they are continuously created too and that the backup automation does not breaks after a while …

SUSE Linux from a CD-ROM attached to a magazine. Downloading an OS wasn’t really a thing when your internet was billed by time. First impression? Well, dual-boot turned out to be single-boot in the end, so let’s say not so great at all. 😄 — Michael

It doesn't seem to be documented anywhere, but it's sbg.proof.ovh.net, gra.proof.ovh.net, rbx.proof.ovh.net, etc... — Michael (Spoiler)

I assume, you are asking for server distributions not desktop? If you want to stay mainstream, pick Debian (~100 MB RAM, ~1 GB disk for the system in minimal installation). That's already way less than what you will see with CentOS or Ubuntu. If you…

You are seeing: an Alwyzon Storage Server 1T (= VPS with 1 TB HDD/RAID6 for 5,20 €/month) Nothing new here, actually quite the contrary: the following bench was run on a hypervisor node that is full since a few weeks already and most neighbors like…

(Quote) Nice one. I like it. :) — Michael

How about a storage VPS in Vienna? Storage Server 1T: 5,50 € per month for… ✓ 1 GB DDR4 ECC Memory ✓ 1 vCore Intel® Xeon® Silver (2nd Gen) ✓ 1 TB HDD Storage (RAID 6/Cached) ✓ 1000 Mb/s Up- and Downlink ✓ Located in Vienna, Austria ✓ 1x IPv4 + /64 …

(Quote) Geizhals is a well-known company in the German speaking area and around since ~1996 according to their German Wikipedia page. Don't think they would have any motivation for forging prices or allowing fake sellers there. On the other hand, I'…

(Quote) Geizhals is EU-focused and retail only, but you can still use it to easily compare price history on the retail market. As you can see there, the model you linked was 293 € per piece in retail (pre-VAT); now the cheapest seller wants 667,50 €…

(Quote) Small sized consumer ones, yes, as they aren‘t suitable for Chia farming. But you shouldn‘t use those in a datacenter environment either. Large scale, durable, CMR disks nearly tripled in price. The WD UltraStar Helio-Seal series was ~250€ …

(Quote) For the majority of customers, the regular VPS series should actually be perfectly suitable. You will only see significant gains through the more powerful CPUs of the performance series if your workloads can‘t be distributed over multiple co…

(Quote) Yes, there is actually a launch deal scheduled for next weekend. Only next weekend, because there is one more thing... But, if you feel like you have to get your hands on these beasts immediately, you can already get the same deals today if…

(Quote) That’s unrelated to what information you have to show publicly on your website; that’s about customer data collected for billing purposes. The EU (plus UK, Lichtenstein and Switzerland) requires any eCommerce sale to be documented and archi…

(Quote) But, you do know that this causes legal/tax troubles to your providers? At least, if they are located inside the European Union. 😟

(Quote) Yep, sounds like you are looking for a Juniper EX3400-24T or EX3400-48T. The first one (the 24 port one) starts at about ~1100€ new (plus ~800 € for the license required to use BGP). They do even have two QFSP+ port (ideal for creating a rin…

I don‘t think anybody would jump from Debian to AlmaLinux. If you are used to the Debian/Ubuntu way of doing things, you don‘t just start doing stuff the RHEL way. Also, many went with CentOS due to it‘s reputation of reliability and long-term suppo…

(Quote) Oh, I see. Sorry, but in that case I can't be of much help. The setup of the storage servers uses local SAS disks, so RAM and disk storage is always linked. Can't offer you more RAM without more disk space, otherwise utilisation of these nod…

Since all the offers here already ask for compromises, let's continue with another suggestion: the production recommendation for PBS bare-metal installations is 4 GB, but that likely includes some of it for the memory-hungry RAID-Z2 (as also recomme…

(Quote) I get your point regarding redundancy, but what kind of disk I/O rates would you be looking for? Intel Atom sounds like a dedi, that should already give you fast disk I/O solely because it's a non-shared disk.
