🏠 Homelab Backup Evolution! 🏠
Following the "3-2-1 is the minimum" rule, I've expanded my VPS container backup strategy:
✅ Hetzner Cloud (Borg) → Offsite long-term storage
✅ Synology NAS (rsync) → Local fast recovery
The new setup does nightly automated syncs of all /opt/containers/ data to my Synology - with deduplication and all the bells and whistles! 📦
Particularly clever: hardlinks for space-efficient snapshots and morning email reports. Now I know right with my coffee ☕ whether all backups ran cleanly.
Lesson learned: Cloud-only is good, but having a local NAS mirror for quick restores is pure gold! 💪
How do you solve this in your setups? Also multi-tier or everything to cloud?
