I’m trying to plan a better backup solution for my home server. Right now I’m using Duplicati to back up my 3 external drives, but the backup is staying on-site and on the same kind of media as the original. So, what does your backup setup and workflow look like? Discs at a friend’s house? Cloud backup at a commercial provider? Magnetic tape in an underground bunker?

    All persistent storage from my dockers are in a folder. All I have to backup everything is backup this one folder along with my docker compose files (in git).

    Locally there are zfs snapshots (autosnapshot) and for remote I use borgmatic.

    Borg to :

    1. Local server
    2. Friends server
    3. Borgbase

        @lka1988 @Lem453 Primarily a frontend tool designed to make your life easier, torsion.org/borgmatic , but I tend to avoid macros, frontend scripts, or even GUIs like this. They may obscure Borg-specific configuration details that, hypothetically, could one day hinder your restoration process.

        Its an automation software for borg backup to run on a schedule and keep a certain number of backups while deleting old ones etc.
