OVH offer a backup service that can be connected via CIFS, FTP and NFS.
Getting it connected via NFS is fast on Linux. These instructions are for use with Debian 12 but may work on others.
In your ovh panel, go to the server you want to manage, select “Backup storage” from the tab strip. Click the three dots icon to the right and select modify the access.
Disable them all and enable NFS.
Make a backup directory.
mkdir /mnt/backup
Install nfs
apt install nfs-common
Make sure it is loaded
modprobe nfs
Then get the name and the ID from your OVH control panel and run this command. Replace name and id with those from your OVH panel.
mount -t nfs :/export/ftpbackup/ /mnt/backup/
