What’s my what lmao?

🤞

Restic using resticprofile for scheduling and configuring it. I do frequent backups to my NAS and have a second schedule that pushes to Backblaze B2.

Are cyanide tablets a backup strategy?

I use borgbackup + zabbix for monitoring.

At home, I have all my files get backed up to rsync.net since the price is lower for borg repos.

At work, I have a dedicated backup server running borgbackup that pulls backups from my servers and stores it locally as well as uploading to rsync.net. The local backup means restoring is faster, unless of course that dies.

I just wanted to say that I appreciate the input from everyone here. I really need to work on my backup solution and this will be helpful.

I run a restic backup to a local backup server that syncs most of the data (except the movie collection because it’s too big). I also keep compressed config/db backups on the live server.

I eventually want to add a cloud platform to the mix, but for now this setup works fine

Irreplaceable media: NAS->Back blaze NAS->JBOD via duplicacy for versioning

Large ISOs that can be downloaded again, NAS -> JBOD and or NAS -> offline disks.

Stuff that’s critical leaves the house, stuff that would just cost me a hell of a lot of personal time to rebuild just gets a copy or two.

Can anyone ELI5 or link a decent reference? I’m pretty new to self hosting and now that I’ve finally got most of my services running the way I want, I live in constant fear of my system crashing

Cross my fingers 🤞

Highly recommend borgbackup, I’ve been using it for years and it’s always been smooth

I usually write my own scripts with rsync for backups since I already have my OS installs pretty much automated also with scripts.

Am I the only one using kopia :)?

Im quite new in selfohsting and backups. I went for duplicaty and it is perfect, but heared bad stories and now I use kopia daily backups to another drive and also to B2. Duplicaty is still doing daily backups, but only few important folders to google drive.

Ive heared only good stories about kopia and no one mentioned it

Large/important volumes on SAN-> B2 Desktop Macs -> Time Machine on SAN & Backblaze (for a few)

Borgbackup is great and what we used for all our servers when they were pets. It’s a great tool, very easy to script and use.

I realized at one point that the amount of data that is truly irreplaceable to me amounts to only - 500GB. So for this important data I back up to my NAS, then from there backup to Backblaze. I also create M-Discs. Two sets, one for home and one I keep at a fiends’ place. Then because “why not” and I already had them sitting around I also backup to two sd cards and keep them on site and off site.

I also backup my other data like tv/movies/music/etc but the sheer volume of data gives me one option, that being a couple usb hard drives I back up to from my NAS.
