I backup my files via rsync then have some essentially docker containers backed up and running in case the first one goes down :)

      Ohhh, look at Mr. Fancy Pants over here with his backup servers! What, ya scared the internet’s gonna go poof and you won’t be able to access your little spreadsheets? ‘Oh no, my cat memes are in danger!’

      Listen, buddy, some of us are just out here raw-doggin’ the web like real men. What’s next, you gonna put a generator in your bathroom in case the toilet paper dispenser fails? Fuggedaboutit!

      If you’re using proxmox, just install PBS somewhere else and configure a schedule. It’s pretty quick to configure.

    A copy of data isn’t really a backup, that’s also why RAID isn’t a backup. You should have proper backups with something like borg or restic.

        In such a way that it checks the integrity of the files. Which a normal copy paste does not do. Rsync does this as well bdw.

          None of those programs verifies integrity. Borg deduplicates, and optionally encrypts data. Restic is a front end for rsync, which only offers incremental back up. Meaning, restic/rsync compares your source and destination directories, and if the data are identical it does nothing, but if there are any changes it will upload only that changed data. None of the apps care what the data are, you can backup gibberish and they will happily put it another place for you.

    My backup server is the only one of my servers that is located outside Germany. You know, in case the British come again. Or the data centre of my other servers burns down. Or something like that.

    Every night, this server receives a (compressed, incremental) backup of the most important data (content and configuration files) from each of my other servers, which I created with Borg.
