I just started getting into self hosting using docker compose and I wonder about possible backup solutions. I only have to safe my docker config so far, but I want host files as well. What software and hardware are you using for backup?
At the moment I’m doing primarily hopes and prayers
I’ve been using Borg to back my stuff up. It gets backed up to rsync.net, which has good support for Borg:
https://www.rsync.net/products/borg.html
If you’re good enough at computers, you can even set up a special borg account with them that’s cheaper and has no tech support.
That looks cool, and they’ve got some other nifty looking things like https://www.pikapods.com/. Any idea how stable the company is? I partially like rsync.net because it’s pretty unlikely to just disappear someday.
Seconding this. On my unRAID host, I run a docker container called “Vorta” that uses Borg as its backend mechanism to backup to my SynologyNAS over NFS. Then on my Syno, run two backup jobs using HyperBackup, one goes to my cousin’s NAS connected via a Site-to-Site OpenVPN connection on our edge devices (Ubiquity Unifi Security Gateway Pro <-> UDM Pro), the other goes to Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage.
OP, let me know if you need any assistance setting something like this up. Gotta share the knowledge over here on Lemmy that we’re still used to searching evil Reddit for.
My brother and I both run an USG. Would love to learn from you how to set up site2site VPN!
Niiiice, quick question, are both of y’all running the latest UniFi Controller version & using the new WebUI view layout?
Local backup to my Synology NAS every night which is then replicated to another NAS at my folks house through a secure VPN tunnel. Pretty simple and easy to deploy.
I’ve had excellent luck with Kopia, backing up to Backblaze B2.
At work, I do the same to a local directory in my company provided OneDrive account to keep company data on company resources.
my 20 TB storage is currently hosted by Hetzner on a SMB Share with a acompanying server The storage is accessable via NFS/SMB i have a Windows 10 VPS running Backblaze Personal Backup for 7$/Month with unlimited storage while mounting the SMB share as a “Physical Drive” using Dokan because Backblaze B1 doesn’t allow backing up Network shares If your Storage is local you can use the win Backup Agent in a Docker container
