3. Using SIA as backup tool

Using SIA as backup tool

  • R

    Hello!
    I am trying to use SIA as tool for backup.
    I have a few questions:

    • Is there a security measures to protect SIA wallet from other users connecting to it? siad listens tcp port and even unprivileged user can connect to it and make some actions. With bitcoind I can set rpcuser and rpcpassword in the config file, unreadable by unprivileged user. Can I use something like this to protect siad?
    • If a storage failure will occur I will also lose all sia data. I can restore sia wallet with a balance with the seed. But the renter data cannot be restored the same way, and all my files will be lost. Should I make regular backups of renter data? Is there best practices for it?
    • Forgetting to make a payment will be catastrophic for data stored with SIA. Is there best practices in monitoring of this. I use zabbix for monitoring any issues with my servers and making notifications. What data should I collect to make a warning of low funds?

    Thank you!
