Hello everyone!

I have a small OrangePi running some small services on it (some with Docker and some without Docker).

And I’d love to know how do you backup your single-board computers.

Do you just rsync the system to a storage server ? Do you plug in a USB drive and rsync on it ? Do you save only the important data or the whole system ?

For now my SBC is not backed-up and I’d like to get a good backup solution up and running quickly! (I don’t trust SD cards to last long…)

I have access to USB drives and disks and also another big server with 20TB of storage which I can make the backup to if needed!

Thanks for your help !

    Re:

    The fact that it’s a “single board” computer, specifically, is mildly irrelevant

      Did you forget to complete your reply, or did it perhaps glitch out?

        Haha sorry mate I must have assumed you had your mind reading hat on. Basically what darkassasin said above.
