Hi thanks Lonnie and Michael.

Sorry I should have mentioned that I actually already have a backup solution 
which uses SSH and SCP.
I am just concerned about storing these files securely on the backup host?

Regards
Michael Knill

    +1 for Tarsnap
    
    It has been almost one year since I started Tarsnap backups on 7 boxes 
nightly (mostly default settings, prune at 30 days), started my Tarsnap account 
with $5.00, my account is now $4.83 .
    
    I trust Tarsnap's crypto, perform your own due diligence.
    
    Any "backup service" can discontinue a product at any time, you only hope 
you have time to migrate elsewhere. Colin and his brother Graham seem to have a 
good, low-overhead business model with Tarsnap, fortunately not all their users 
are like myself. :-)
    
    
    Michael (AU), to your first question, you should backup all of 
/mnt/kd/openvpn/ in a secure end-to-end method.

    PS, these are the standard tarsnap-backup /mnt/kd/ directories 
(recursively) and files automatically backed up ...
    --
    dirs="rc.conf.d crontabs arno-iptables-firewall avahi monit keepalived 
openvpn ipsec wireguard snmp ssl ssh ssh_keys ssh_root_keys ups"
    if [ "$ASTERISK_DAHDI_DISABLE" != "yes" ]; then
      dirs="$dirs asterisk dahdi fop2 custom-agi phoneprov/templates"
    fi
    files="*.conf *.script rc.elocal rc.local rc.local.stop blocked-hosts
