    I have setup the backups to be done with borgbackup. It is possible to set a remote repository to be used?
    Thanks a lot.

    This is currently not possible.

    I use a script that loops through and dumps the databases and utilized borg for the files. The backup destination is cheap/slow storage mounted to my VPS. As a last step the script runs rsync to sync the changes to my NAS storage at home.
    The advantage to this is that I can restore from a copy direct mounted to my VPS or restore from my NAS to the VPS (when required).
    This is my last resort backup. The VPS provider creates a backup every 4 hours and weekly backups around midnight.

    Thanks you all for the answers.
    @Th0m Thank you very much, I have found a workaround, which is mounting my remote storagebox for backups as a samba.cifs resource. It is working like a charm.
    @30uke Thanks a lot, I think that the database dump and further borg is made automatically if you set borg as your backup method for the server in ISPConfig panel.
