I see many posts asking about what other lemmings are hosting, but I’m curious about your backups.
I’m using duplicity myself, but I’m considering switching to borgbackup when 2.0 is stable. I’ve had some problems with duplicity. Mainly the initial sync took incredibly long and once a few directories got corrupted (could not get decrypted by gpg anymore).
I run a daily incremental backup and send the encrypted diffs to a cloud storage box. I also use SyncThing to share some files between my phone and other devices, so those get picked up by duplicity on those devices.
For PCs, Daily incremental backups to local storage, daily syncs to my main unRAID server, and weekly off-site copies to a raspberry pi with a large external HDD running at a family member’s place. The unRAID server itself has it’s config backed up to the unRAID servers and all the local docker stores also to the off-site pi. The most important stuff (pictures, recovery phrases, etc) is further backed up in Google drive.
What’s my what lmao?
All nextcloud data gets mirrored with rsync to a second drive, so it’s in 3 places, original source and twice on the server
Databases are backed up nightly by webmin to second drive
Then installations, databases etc are sent to backblaze storage with duplicati
Holy crap. Duplicity is what I’ve been missing my entire life. Thank you for this.
In short: crontab, rsync, a local and a remote raspberry pi and cryptfs on usb-sticks.
I use syncthing to sync files between phone, pc and server.
The server runs proxmox, with a proxmox backup server in VM. A raspberry pi pulls the backups to an usb ssd, and also rclone them to backblaze.
Syncthing is nice. I don’t backup my pc, as it is done by the server. Reinstalling the pc requires almost no preparation, just set up syncthing again
🤞
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
there are dozens of us, dozens!
but seriously, it’s the best one I’ve seen for e2e encrypted + incremental cloud backups. It checks all the boxes for what I want from a backup tool. Recovery is really easy too.
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.
Another +1 for restic. To simplify the backup I am however using https://autorestic.vercel.app/, which is triggered from systemd timers for automated backups.
3 2 1 with Restic and B2
btrfs and btrbk work very well, tutorial: https://mutschler.dev/linux/fedora-btrfs-35/
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.
Backups? What backups?
Ik it’s bad but I can’t be bothered.
wing and a pray baby!
Exactly! I pray every morning.
My important data is backed up via Synology DSM Hyper backup to:
- Local external HDD attached via USB.
- Remote to backblaze (costs about $1/month for ~100gb of data)
I also have proxmox backup server backup all the VM/CTs every few hours to the same external HDD used above, however these backups aren’t crucial, it would just be helpful to rebuild if something went down.
