I already use #Borg/#Borgmatic for my #Docker backups and dat was easy to setup. Then I tried doing the same thing for my #Kubernetes cluster, then realised it may not be that simple to backup the volumes - the databases, that was easy since Borgmatic supports that super easily. The PVCs tho, which uses #Longhorn underneath... I'm not too sure how to back them up - esp the RWO ones. One option I've found seems to be to set up backups, possible for Longhorn, to some #S3 storage location but ofc #MinIO is like, not an option now. Idk if finding a diff S3 option (#Garage? #RustFS?) is a good idea or, really, how do others back up data on their #K8s cluster in their #homelab/workplace?

Does anyone know why my filesystem gets read only when I try to mount a #backup from #borgmatic?

(borgmatic mount --archive [...] )

It shows an error that the destination has to be writeable and tries again. After that the filesystem is in RO mode...

Ok, we've got a plan in place to repurpose the old fileserver as a new archive server. Needs the purchase of two largish NAS hard drives, and a full refresh of the OS and some scripting etc, but after that, we're good to go.

I'm gonna put #guix on it so it's reproducible in case the old device dies (motherboard is 9 years old), and gonna use #borgmatic to do the internal and offsite backup drives. The deduplication should make all this stuff work and we should be able to keep years of history

Ok, thanks to @borgmatic I have a backup that is running and sending data to a repurposed backup drive that used to be formatted to my old backup scheme and is now fully assimilated to the borg.

I'm gonna run it for a few weeks, then convert my other hard drive that I swap between... and once those have run for a month or two I'll swap one of them to my offsite location and convert my current offsite drive. Slow, steady, and with a fallback at all times!

#borgmatic friends. I have several backup drives that I rotate through. If I list each of their mount points in the borgmatic config, and the drive isn't mounted so the path doesn't exist, will borgmatic error out, or continue with the additionally listed destinations?

ideally It'd just update whatever drives I have mounted, and skip over whatever ones I don't.
