Used to use Duplicati but it was buggy and would often need manual intervention to repair corruption. I gave up on it.

Now use Restic to Backblaze B2. I’ve been very happy.

Restic to B2 is made of win.

The quick, change-only backups in a digit executable intrigued me; the ability to mount snapshots to get at, e.g., a single file hooked me. The wide, effortless support for services like BackBlaze made me an advocate.

I back up nightly to a local disk, and twice a week to B2. Everywhere. I have some 6 machines I do this on; one holds the family photos and our music library, and is near a TB by itself. I still pay only a few dollars per month to B2; it’s a great service.

I’ve used restic in the past; it’s good but requires a great deal of setup if memory serves me correctly. I’m currently using Duplicati on both Ubuntu and Windows and I’ve never had any issues. Thanks for sharing your experience though; I’ll be vigilant.

I use duplicity to a drive mounted off a Pi for local, tarsnap for remote. Both are command-line tools; tarsnap charges for their servers based on exact usage. (And thanks for the reminder; I’m due for another review of exactly what parts of which drives I’m backing up.)

rsync + backblaze B2. Bafkblaze is stupid cheap.

Cost is about $10 per year.

ozoned , in Really good tutorial for getting Debian setup with Timeshift ready BTRFS
@ozoned@beehaw.org avatar

Question about the video. I’ve never used btrfs or Timeshift, so maybe this is just a thing with them, when he jumps to the CLI and unmounts, remounts RW, changes the @rootfs @, adds a dir and then mounts the subvolume on /dev/sda2 to /target.

This is totally new to me and I was wondering if anyone had an explanation as to why this was necessary?

I’m used to EXT4 and that’s what I run. But if BTRFS has FINALLY gotten stable and usable and I can take snapshots and roll back to older ones, kind of like branches in ostree, then maybe it’s worth this little extra work.

From what I find subvols are their own isolated branch with their own hierarchy. Is this how they’re meant to be used? Manually creating them and mounting/unmounting?

Also anyone know if JustALinuxGuy is on Fediverse/Mastodon or a way to reach them about uploading these incredibly instructive videos to Peertube such as TILVids?

All my devices use Syncthing via Tailscale to get my data to my server.

From there, my server backs up nightly to rsync.net via BorgBackup.

I then have Zabbix monitoring my backups to make sure a daily is always uploaded.

A separate NAS on an atom cpu with btrfs of raid 10 exposed over NFS.

i_am_hiding , in How do you all go about backing up your data, on Linux?

I just run my own nextcloud instance. Everything important is synced to that with the nextcloud desktop client, and the server keeps a month’s worth of backups on my NAS via rsync.

sol , in How do you all go about backing up your data, on Linux?

Most of my data is backed up to (or just stored on) a VPS in the first instance, and then I backup the VPS to a local NAS daily using rsnapshot (the NAS is just a few old hard drives attached to a Raspberry Pi until I can get something more robust). Very occasionally I’ll back the NAS up to a separate drive. I also occasionally backup my laptop directly to a separate hard drive.

Not a particularly robust solution but it gives me some piece of mind. I would like to build a better NAS that can support RAID as I was never able to get it working with the Pi.

Git projects and system configs are on GitHub (see etckeeper), the reset is synced to my self-hosted Nextcloud instance using their desktop client. There I have periodic backup using Borg for both the files and Nextcloud database.

Restic to Synology nas, Synology software for cloud backup.

@danielfgom@lemmy.world avatar

Periodic backup to external drive via Deja Dup. Plus, I keep all important docs in Google Drive. All photos are in Google Photos. So it’s only my music really which isn’t in the cloud. But I might try upload it to Drive as well one day.

redcalcium , in How do you all go about backing up your data, on Linux?

Good ol’ fashioned rsync once a day to a remote server with zfs with daily zfs snapshot (rsync.net). Very fast because it only need to send changed/new files, and saved my hide several times when I need to access deleted files or old version of some files from the zfs snapshots.

rikudou , in How do you all go about backing up your data, on Linux?

Github for projects, Syncthing to my NAS for some config files and that’s pretty much it, don’t care for the rest.
