I backup my files via rsync then have some essentially docker containers backed up and running in case the first one goes down :)

Ohhh, look at Mr. Fancy Pants over here with his backup servers! What, ya scared the internet’s gonna go poof and you won’t be able to access your little spreadsheets? ‘Oh no, my cat memes are in danger!’

Listen, buddy, some of us are just out here raw-doggin’ the web like real men. What’s next, you gonna put a generator in your bathroom in case the toilet paper dispenser fails? Fuggedaboutit!

If you’re using proxmox, just install PBS somewhere else and configure a schedule. It’s pretty quick to configure.

I know about pbs, I even have an IP set aside for it :) I do have the built-in proxmox backup function take nightly snapshots or my important vms to my nas, but I don’t have anything really put together. Also, nothing for my nas itself. It is configured in a raid 5, but as we all know, raid is not backup :)

One day, after I am done with <insert reason here>, I will have a bad ass, well thought out backup solution.

I backup my backup servers to my production machines.

Circular redundancy, ftw!
