Forget Hetzner Storage Box and check out BorgBase. I am truly impressed, easy sign-up, intuitive browser interface and support that's fast and on the ball!

Hetzner, go suck 🖕- complacency and not listening to user feedback will kill you.

I’ve used Backblaze (Consumer & B2), rsync.net, and BorgBase and can say I haven’t had issues with any of them.

For client software: Arq, Syncovery, and borg are all good depending on your use case. Haven’t tried restic, yet.

I assume it's something like family photos which you can't really replace if you lose them.

Set up client-side encrypted off-site backup (I use borgbase) with an append-only key on the device. Keep the full-access key somewhere else.

📰 My Homelab Setup

💬 Exec: Helpful, slightly smug homelab tips—Restic+Backblaze; BorgBase suggested; Bitwarden ports; Nginx reverse-proxy. 🤓

I have now completely automated my backup system with Nix and borgmatic. It will update every six hours to both borgbase and my file server. I have it set up to keep around 30 backups total over a 3 month period. (1/2)

I use vorta for borgbase and a script for local.

Yes it’s true, hell is a little colder today as I have finally started backing up any of my self-hosted stuff

(Using @restic to https://www.borgbase.com/ if you’re wondering)

@rachel Cool cool. I'll have to do more investigation on my own then. For reference, Borg works really well. Feels kind of slow with larger datasets, though that could be due to the speeds of my remote backup service.

Are you using BorgBase as well? They support Rustic from what I understand.

Had to start paying for https://borgbase.com , my Mastodon server's increasing backup size pushed me above the limits of the free plan.

Starting the day and realising my #backup system has been broken for the last 4 days 😵

Error reported to #vorta people github.com/borgbase/vor...

Then realising something broke the borgbackup-fuse installation on #homebrew

Uninstall + install fixed it 😮‍💨

Description Hello 👋 I noticed this morning that in Vorta, the last backup was done 4 days ago (it's scheduled to run daily and I have 4 backups configured that way) So I checked logs and found this...
