After some discussion, the disk should probably be encrypted with the root password to avoid a situation where the disks could end up astray if the disk holder loses it somehow (gets stolen, lost during transport, etc.)

the nixos hydra infra uses zfs snapshots, sent with zrepl to rsync.net

before, both hexa and delroth were the ones to hold a backup. This might be a job for NVG, Omegaversktedet or some Tokyo drifters

The zfs datasets themselves can be encrypted, and will then also be stored encrypted on the offsite host

There are traps here! You must use the raw (-w) flag to avoid it being decrypted and then reencrypted and recompressed and whatever according to the dataset rules on the receiving side.
