Speaking about backups, I recently set up a back up process for my home server including a recovery plan, and that makes me sleep better at night !
I have Duplicati [0] that does a backup of the data of my many self hosted applications
Every day, encrypted and stored in a folder on the server itself.
Only the password manager backup is not encrypted by Duplicati, because it's encrypted using my master password, and it stores all the encryption keys of the other backups.
Then, I have a systemd service to run rclone [1] every day after the backups finished to sync the backup folder towards :
- Backblaze B2
- AWS S3 Glacier Deep Archive
For now I only use the free tier of B2 as I have less than a GB to backup, but that's because I haven't installed next cloud yet !
However, I still like using S3 because I am paying for it (even though deep Archive is very cheap) and I'm pretty sure if something happens with my account, the fact that I'm a paying customer will prevent AWS from unilaterally removing my data (I have seen posts about google accounts being closed without any recourse, I hope I'm protected of that with AWS)
Right now I only have CalDav/CardDav, my password manager and my configs being backed up, but I plan to use Syncthing to also backup other devices towards the home server, to fit inside what I already configured.
If anyone has advice on what I did/did not do/could have done better please tell me !
