   Very poor

   Buggy as hell and the seller ignores all emails. Promising but for all practical purposes, useless for protecting my data. Maybe in a year or two if he shows more interest

   👎 Cons:    Very buggy in important respects.

• Ask HN: How do you do backups for personal/home server?

  I tried a bunch of different ways but ultimately settled on Duplicacy [0]. It runs inside a Docker container and backs up both my data as well as configurations like my docker compose file and smb.conf. Off site storage was Backblaze B2, but I moved to Hetzner. Likely will move back just because B2 is cheaper and a bit faster for my region. Another layer of backup I do is use Duplicacy to backup to a portable hard... - Source: Hacker News / 12 months ago
