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.
What’s my what lmao?
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.
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.
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
I’m moving from rsync+duplicity+borg towards bupstash
I’m paying Google for their enterprise gSuite which is still “unlimited”, and using rclone’s encrypted drive target to back up everything. Have a couple of scripts that make tarballs of each service’s files, and do a full backup daily.
It’s probably excessive, but nobody was ever mad about the fact they had too many backups if they needed them, so whatever.
Holy crap. Duplicity is what I’ve been missing my entire life. Thank you for this.
Cross my fingers 🤞
3 2 1 with Restic and B2
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
Backups? What backups?
Ik it’s bad but I can’t be bothered.
In the process of moving stuff over to Backblaze. Home PCs, few clients PCs, client websites all pointing at it now, happy with the service and price. Two unraid instances push the most important data to an azure storage a/c - but imagine i’ll move that to BB soon as well.
Docker backups are similar to post above, tarball the whole thing weekly as a get out of jail card - this is not ideal but works for now until i can give it some more attention.*i have no link to BB other than being a customer who wanted to reduce reliance on scripts and move stuff out of azure for cost reasons.
Would I be correct to assume you are using Backblaze PC backup rather than B2?
Yes, for now. I’ll be spinning up some B2 this week however.
