I see many posts asking about what other lemmings are hosting, but I’m curious about your backups.
I’m using duplicity myself, but I’m considering switching to borgbackup when 2.0 is stable. I’ve had some problems with duplicity. Mainly the initial sync took incredibly long and once a few directories got corrupted (could not get decrypted by gpg anymore).
I run a daily incremental backup and send the encrypted diffs to a cloud storage box. I also use SyncThing to share some files between my phone and other devices, so those get picked up by duplicity on those devices.
Holy crap. Duplicity is what I’ve been missing my entire life. Thank you for this.
What’s my what lmao?
In short: crontab, rsync, a local and a remote raspberry pi and cryptfs on usb-sticks.
Backups? What backups?
Ik it’s bad but I can’t be bothered.
I use borgbackup + zabbix for monitoring.
At home, I have all my files get backed up to rsync.net since the price is lower for borg repos.
At work, I have a dedicated backup server running borgbackup that pulls backups from my servers and stores it locally as well as uploading to rsync.net. The local backup means restoring is faster, unless of course that dies.
Restic using resticprofile for scheduling and configuring it. I do frequent backups to my NAS and have a second schedule that pushes to Backblaze B2.
Another +1 for restic. To simplify the backup I am however using https://autorestic.vercel.app/, which is triggered from systemd timers for automated backups.
Backing up to backblaze with duplicacy
🤞
I’m moving from rsync+duplicity+borg towards bupstash
I use syncthing to sync files between phone, pc and server.
The server runs proxmox, with a proxmox backup server in VM. A raspberry pi pulls the backups to an usb ssd, and also rclone them to backblaze.
Syncthing is nice. I don’t backup my pc, as it is done by the server. Reinstalling the pc requires almost no preparation, just set up syncthing again
Irreplaceable media: NAS->Back blaze NAS->JBOD via duplicacy for versioning
Large ISOs that can be downloaded again, NAS -> JBOD and or NAS -> offline disks.
Stuff that’s critical leaves the house, stuff that would just cost me a hell of a lot of personal time to rebuild just gets a copy or two.
Cross my fingers 🤞
Daily offsite to a backup server via restic (+ a self written wrapper for multiple targets). Restic can also run with anything else (sftp, s3 APIs etc). Kinda modern duplicity / borg. Full encrypted and incremental.
I usually write my own scripts with
rsyncfor backups since I already have my OS installs pretty much automated also with scripts.I use a Backuppc instance hosted on an off site server with a 1Tb drive. It connects through ssh to all my vms and backups /home and any other folders i may need. It handles full and incremental backups, deduplication, and compression.
