Sia Foundation

We are glad to announce that we have completed the research grant (on time and on budget) that the SIA Foundation has sponsored and have been approved for the grant to develop the PBS Cloud backup module and an S3 plugin. The purpose of this grant is to allow proxmox VE servers (virtual machine servers) to backup their data off-site to any compatible S3 storage network so that should a worse-case event occur the business can survive. Approx 93% of companies without disaster recovery who suffer a major data disaster due to flood or fire are out of business within one year? Backup your data locally for speed, but also keep a copy in the cloud so you can restore from the cloud should disaster strike.

The Sia Network is a distributed redundant storage network that uses the sia coin as payment. You will find that the Sia network provides redundancy and low-cost backup solution and we recommend you try it before other S3 solutions.

We are waiting for the next Sia Foundation board meeting to determine if we have been approved for the project which should be Oct 31, 2023.

We are glad to announce that we have received a grant from the SIA Foundation to research the possibility of building a module for proxmox backup server that would allow for cloud backups. We support the concept of distributed storage and the sia network allows for that. We have been providing our own storage in the sia network for over a year and recently setup a host machine on the test network. If you want to learn more about the grant you can use the link below.

If the feasibility study works out we will move forward with a request for a grant to cover the above development of this module.
