Simple cloud service to store ZFS snapshots, ala:
$ zfs send -v -R -I pool/snapshot_034 pool/snapshot_042 |\
ssh marvin@marvin.zfs.rent zfs recv -v -Fu pool/snapshots
(Or, BTFS, etc... Create an ext4 partition and rsync your data. The VPS is included!)
Please reach out to support@zfs.rent if you have any questions about the service!
We rent out KVM virtual machines with dedicated hard drives. There is no sharing/over-committing.
You will receive an email with the following:
The drives are attached as passthrough SCSI or SATA devices. They show up as /dev/sda, /dev/sdb, etc.
Users have a choice of:
ZFS supports native encryption and snapshotting. Once you have access to your
instance, you can configure your keys. Basically, once per boot, you need
to run zfs load-key -a and punch in your passphrase. Given our
datacenter's history, we believe that re-entering your keys
will be a rarity. But if system power-loss occurs, user data will be
encrypted-at-rest. At any time, users can issue sudo reboot
to ensure their encrypted datasets are safe from physical seisure.
As of July 2024, we operate in one datacenter.
Currently, all new drives are loaded in Fremont. In the future, we might add support for geo-replication for those who desire additional redundancy.After a successful first payment, your KVM instance will be created and your credentials will be emailed to you. Drives are physically loaded on the 1st of each month and attached to VMs. Please ensure that your drive arrives at least 1-2 business days before the 1st of the month.
