Selfhosted

Encrypted backup to google drive weekly from unraid, planning to get a NAS for another backup location

I use rsync with an offsite backup.

Rsync custom script. I am connecting two different hard disks (1 natively + 1 remotely via ssh) to backup the disk.

1 tine per month, U unplug ny microsd fro my Raspberry Pi 4 Server and I am making a full backup of the sd in case it fails, to restore it to a new sd card.

Duplicati. Works like a charm. Supports practically every backend (S3, backblaze, one drive, Google, storj, sia, even Tahoe!

my solution is syncthing

I've gotten decent results from s3cmd sync.

For my workstation I'm using a small script that packs and compresses all relevant directories with tar once a week. The resulting file is then copied to a local backup drive and to my NAS. An encrypted version of that file is sent to an offsite VPS.

For my selfhosted services (on Proxmox) I'm using ProxmoxBackupServer.

I have an old synology DS1513+

it runs Active Backup for business and Active backup for google workspace, as well as an AFP share for Apple machines. This is about 95% of all backups. Those backup archive files are then ALSO backed up to one of two large 14TB hdds. I swap them out monthly (or thereabout) and keep the spare at my office or in my firesafe when at home.

I have a couple other things out there too. A small SSh box to handle some scripting of config file backups etc. My main synology 1815+ also has a cloud sync up to backblaze that happens in realtime, but only keeps 1 copy of stuff as well as a hyperbackup job for super important stuff up to Backblaze, in addition to the nightly backups to the 1513+. This way if my house burns down I still have something (and likely a full copy with the 14TB HDD)

I don't know if it's a smart solution but I have a HDD in my server that is used just for backups, each night I have rsync automatically moving stuff from multiple locations that I want to back up onto the drive. After that is done I have Kopia backup to B2, with compression, deduplication and encryption. I use healthchecks.io as well to alert me if any of the steps fails to complete (but none of the steps block each other).

I usually use HanBrake, MakeMKV, or DVDFab to copy bluray disc.

For containers (but I use k3s) I use git to store helmfiles and configuration, secrets in ci/cd system.

For the rest - I use autorestic that backups data over ssh and S3.

A lot of services have some kind of way to create backup files. I have cronjobs doing that daily then uploading it to some cloud storage with rclone.

ZFS send to a pair of mirrored HDDs on the same machine ever hour and a daily restic backup to S3 storage. Every six months I test and verify the cloud backup.

raid1 + data duplication

Photos, videos, music, documents, etc.. are available on multiple devices using SyncThing.

Thanks! I just started setting up NixOS on my laptop and I'm planning to use it for servers next. Saving this for later!
