For those using VPS services, how do you go about keeping your data backed up?

posted 1 year ago

I have been using a VPS for a while to host some personal projects and services that I have been using. Lately I have start to think to move all my git projects into it aswell. But at the moment, I’m not really sure how to go about off site backups of the data. How do you usually go about running backups on your servers?

You can also feed database dumps directly into restic, like this:

mysqldump --defaults-file=/root/backup_scripts/.my.cnf --databases mydatabse | restic backup --stdin --stdin-filename mydatabase.sql
