What backup service do you use? - Lemmy

I just got my home server up and running and was wondering what you guys recommend for backups. I figure it will probably be worth having backups on cloud servers tjay are external, are there any good services yall use for that?

Duplicati, to a friend's home server who lives in another town.

I hate to ask the scary question, but have you tried to restore your backups before? I used Duplicati and discovered that none of my backups were usable and ended up switching to Duplicacy.

How would one realistically go about testing their backup? Do you need a bunch of empty drives?

You donโ€™t need to do full restores, spot check random files.
