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?
raid1 + data duplication
Photos, videos, music, documents, etc… are available on multiple devices using SyncThing.
At home I have a Synology NAS for backup of the local desktops. Offsite Backups are done with restic to Blackblaze B2 and to another location.
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.
