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?

    Software & Services:

    Destinations:

    • Local raspberry pi with external hdd, running restic REST server
    • RAID 1 NAS at parents’ house, connected via tailscale, also running restic REST

    I’ve been meaning to set up a drive rotation for the local backup so I always have one offline in case of ransomware, but I haven’t gotten to it.

    Edit: For the backup set I back up pretty much everything. I’m not paying per gig, though.
