I have a home server that I’m using and hosting files on it. I’m worried about it breaking and loosing access to the files. So what method do you use to backup everything?

Not what you mean but I use BDR shadow protect and Datto. Depending on customers budget.

All my backups are in /home/Ryan/Documents. Please don't break my Minecraft server.

For my webserver, mysqldump to a secured folder, then restic backup the whole /svr folder, then rsync the restic backup to another server. Also have a system that emails me if these things don't happen daily. The log files are uploaded to a url, the log file is checked for simple errors, and if no file is uploaded in time, email.

Of course, in my case, the url files are uploaded to - and the email server... are the same server I'm backing up... but at least if that becomes a problem, I probably only need the backups I've already made to my second server.

Three copies. The data on your server.

  1. Buy a giant external drive and back up to that.

  2. Off site. Backblaze is very nice

How to get your data around? Free file sync is nice.

  • kopia backup to 2nd disk
  • kopia backup to B2 cloud
  • duplicaty backup to google drive (only most important folder <1GB)

Most of the files are actually nextcloud so I get one more copy of files (not backup) on PC by syncing with nextcloud app
