Can you please share your backup strategies for linux? I’m curious to know what tools you use and why?How do you automate/schedule backups? Which files/folders you back up? What is your prefered hardware/cloud storage and how do you manage storage space?
Pika Backup for /home/ to an external drive. It’s an automatic solution with a simple GUI that serves as a front end to Borg iirc. Lets you easily browse and mount old backups. Anything outside of my actual personal files can be recreated or restored trivially, so I don’t care to back them up.
I also have a manual dump of /etc/ but i change it so infrequently that it doesn’t really need looking after.
This is what I’ve been using but I’ve never actually had to recover using it…
