Last night I was writing a script and it made a directory literally named “~” on accident. It being 3am I did an rm -rf ~ without thinking and destroyed my home dir. Luckily some of the files were mounted in docker containers which my user didn’t have permission to delete. I was able to get back to an ok state but lost a bit of data.
I now realize I really should be making backups because shit happens. I self host a pypi repository, a docker registry both with containers and some game servers in and out of containers. What would be the simplest tool to backup to Google drive and easily restore?
I had use Duplicati and Kopia. Duplicati works kinda well, the problem is the installation is such a pain in the ass, actually it never work as intended, that’s why I switched to Kopia, the installation is a lot easier, have GUI and and system tray icon, have better documentation, the Google drive backups with GUI requires a liltle configuration of rClone , nothing crazy
