How do you guys back up your server? (pawb.social)

I have a home server that I’m using and hosting files on it. I’m worried about it breaking and loosing access to the files. So what method do you use to backup everything?

All my backups are in /home/Ryan/Documents. Please don't break my Minecraft server.

Three copies. The data on your server.

Buy a giant external drive and back up to that.
Off site. Backblaze is very nice

How to get your data around? Free file sync is nice.

Veeeam community version may help you too

Running a Duplicacy container backing up to Google drive for some stuff and Backblaze for mostly all other data. Been using it for a couple years with no issues. The GUI and scheduling is really nice too.

If you are using kubernetes, you can use longhorn to provision PVCs. It offers easy S3 backup along with snapshots. It has saved me a few times.

Zfs z2 pool . Not a perfect backup, but it covers disk failure (already lost one disk with no data loss), and accidental file deletion. I'm vulnerable to my house burning down, but overall I sleep well enough.

Compressed pg_dump rsync’ed to off-site server.

kopia backup to 2nd disk
kopia backup to B2 cloud
duplicaty backup to google drive (only most important folder <1GB)

Most of the files are actually nextcloud so I get one more copy of files (not backup) on PC by syncing with nextcloud app
