I have a home server that I’m using and hosting files on it. I’m worried about it breaking and loosing access to the files. So what method do you use to backup everything?

I use duplicacy to backup to my local NAS and to Storj.io. In case of a fire I’m always able to restore my files. Storj.io is cheap, easy to access from any location and your files are stored and duplicated on multiple different locations.

+1 for Duplicacy. Been using it solidly for nearly 6 years - with local storage, sftp, and cloud. Rclone for chonky media. Veeam Agent for local PC backups as a secondary method.

Backblaze on a B2 account. 0.005$ per gb. You pay for the storage you use. You pay for when you need to download your backup.

On my truenas server, it’s easy as pie to setup and easy as 🥧 to restore a backup when needed.

I’ll add to this that restic works amazingly with Backblaze.

B2 is awesome. I have Duplicati set up on OpenMediaVault to backup my OS nightly to B2 (as well as a local copy to the HDD).

I also recommend B2, it’s an S3 compatible service so any backup software/scripts/plugins that work with S3 should work with Backblaze.

Maybe I’m stupid, but what is B2? A Backblaze product?

Using ESXi as a hypervisor , so I rely on Veeam. I have copy jobs to take it from local to an external + a copy up to the cloud.
