What's your backup strategy?

Tarsnap Rclone Restic
  1. Tarsnap is a secure online backup system for UNIX

    Each server also upload their configs and « important » data (my mails and git repos) to tarsnap 3. Tarsnap storage is not as cheap as B2, so I try not to upload too much data there, but it's reliable and easy to use. It was also my first backup solution, and barely cost me 10$ a year so I keep it as a secondary backup.

    My drist 0 config management modules (similar to ansible playbooks) is backed up locally everyday to /var/dedup (deduplicated with dedup 1 a borg like backup solution). The repository is mirrored to Backblaze B2 cloud via rclone 2, for an off-site backup.

    I use Restic via a cron job, to backup to S3. Works pretty well, does encrypted, incremental backups.
