What does your #selfhosted backup situation look like? Mine is a box at a friends place with ZFS zrepl based replication hourly. Plus a second box at my parents for geographically distributed safety using restic to separate any ZFS replication issues. Basically a backup of a backup 🎰

    @ironicbadger@techhub.social, borgbackup backup of all my servers in my home and on the Internet to rsync.net which is then rsync’ed down to my main home server running #ZFS. All Linux computers run ZFS, make backups using #sanoid and send to that server using #syncoid. I’m planning to set up a personal remote backup at my in-laws’ place which provides a ZFS send target over #Tailscale

    @ironicbadger@techhub.social For photos: * Local filesystem * iCloud Photos • Backblaze • Synology that’s the _actual_ source of record • Synology at my folks’ house 50 miles away gets a Synology backup over Tailscale nightly • External drive that gets a rsync every two weeks and is stored on the opposite side of the house • External drive that lives at my folks’ and I update any time I’m there (also made possible by Tailscale) • Redundant copy (same account, different computer) at Backblaze

    @ironicbadger@techhub.social ⁃ Big thunderbolt RAID for local backup (runs nightly) ⁃ Backblaze to store offsite (runs continuously) Ditched my Synology after their switch to proprietary drives and moved all the HDs to a TB4 drive cage.

    @ironicbadger@techhub.social 3 Family Computers + 1 RPi5 Homelab > Synology NAS > Backblaze B2. Wish I had a self-hosted alternative to B2 but parents’ not really viable. No great off-site options.

  • @ironicbadger@techhub.social Tested 3 Linux backup solution for some months: Duplicati and Kopia both lost to Zerobyte (= Restic under the hood). Daily snaps to a separate local NAS, mirrored to a cloud service. Weekly snaps to another cloud service.

    @ironicbadger@techhub.social I need to convince the Mrs that my home server needs an upgrade, then I put my current server off-site (preferably at a niece I'm good with, 144 km away as the birds fly) as backup. I can't the easiest of docker images, so I just sync my photos/videos there, but that's the only automation. I'd like to run something like Ente Photos on there for my yearly reminder of stuff I've done and been to over the years.

  • @ironicbadger@techhub.social I have a friend in the the southern hemisphere, we host each others off site encrypted backups and share a jellyhub server. Currently planning an overhaul and simplification of my backup scheme, bit of a mess of overlapping services.

    @ironicbadger@techhub.social I use #ProxmoxBackup for virtual machines, containers and desktops. Datasets are mirrored locally and separated on different floors. The third mirror is offsite encrypted on a #hetzner #objectstorage in Europe.
