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.
