What does your #selfhosted backup situation look like?
Mine is a box at a friends place with ZFS zrepl based replication hourly. Plus a second box at my parents for geographically distributed safety using restic to separate any ZFS replication issues. Basically a backup of a backup đ°
@ironicbadger For photos:
* Local filesystem
* iCloud Photos
⢠Backblaze
⢠Synology thatâs the _actual_ source of record
⢠Synology at my folksâ house 50 miles away gets a Synology backup over Tailscale nightly
⢠External drive that gets a rsync every two weeks and is stored on the opposite side of the house
⢠External drive that lives at my folksâ and I update any time Iâm there (also made possible by Tailscale)
⢠Redundant copy (same account, different computer) at Backblaze

Like I said, most of my data is 3-2-1. But when I was staring down the barrel in 2020 of losing all of my photos, I swore to myself that would NEVER EVER happen.
(tldr, had to rebuild a 6-disk array in my Synologyâs array that had 1-drive tolerance. During the rebuild⌠a second drive briefly died. I was able to recover, but for a few hours I thought I lost **everything**.)
@ironicbadger â Big thunderbolt RAID for local backup (runs nightly)
â Backblaze to store offsite (runs continuously)
Ditched my Synology after their switch to proprietary drives and moved all the HDs to a TB4 drive cage.
I've got everything virtualised with esxi and Veeam backing up to an external hard disk on a standalone Windows pc
Macrium reflect free backs that up to another hdd
Also Veeam is replicating vms between esxi servers
File data (videos and photos) replicated to a pc in my parents house using syncthing, with their photos and documents replicating to me, and multiple copies across various laptops and workstations
I've also got new photos backing up from my phone to proton drive
@ironicbadger I need to convince the Mrs that my home server needs an upgrade, then I put my current server off-site (preferably at a niece I'm good with, 144 km away as the birds fly) as backup.
I can't the easiest of docker images, so I just sync my photos/videos there, but that's the only automation. I'd like to run something like Ente Photos on there for my yearly reminder of stuff I've done and been to over the years.
@ironicbadger I don't want to go full overboard with my next system but some more modern CPU and between 8 to 16 GB would be nice.
For now would 16 TB be more than enough, but more would be nice.
@ironicbadger I have a friend in the the southern hemisphere, we host each others off site encrypted backups and share a jellyhub server.
Currently planning an overhaul and simplification of my backup scheme, bit of a mess of overlapping services.
@ironicbadger Ansible and Terraform as much of the config based stuff as possible, then encrypted periodic cloud backups anything non recoverable
Stuff like my Jellyfin library (my biggest data vault) is manually recovered from the raw DVD/Blu-ray disks again
