What are your backup solutions? - Feddit

I just started getting into self hosting using docker compose and I wonder about possible backup solutions. I only have to safe my docker config so far, but I want host files as well. What software and hardware are you using for backup?

I’ve been using Borg to back my stuff up. It gets backed up to rsync.net, which has good support for Borg:

If you’re good enough at computers, you can even set up a special borg account with them that’s cheaper and has no tech support.

I was a rsync.net user for many years and recently switched to borgbase, because of how easy it is to manage multiple backup targets.

I'm on the same boat right now, borg and borgbase.
That looks cool, and they’ve got some other nifty looking things like www.pikapods.com. Any idea how stable the company is? I partially like rsync.net because it’s pretty unlikely to just disappear someday.

Seconding this. On my unRAID host, I run a docker container called “Vorta” that uses Borg as its backend mechanism to backup to my SynologyNAS over NFS. Then on my Syno, run two backup jobs using HyperBackup, one goes to my cousin’s NAS connected via a Site-to-Site OpenVPN connection on our edge devices (Ubiquity Unifi Security Gateway Pro <-> UDM Pro), the other goes to Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage.

OP, let me know if you need any assistance setting something like this up. Gotta share the knowledge over here on Lemmy that we’re still used to searching evil Reddit for.

Love Borg and the associated docker containers and the like. Really is set and forget!
