A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

I see many posts asking about what other lemmings are hosting, but I'm curious about your backups.

I'm using duplicity myself, but I'm considering switching to borgbackup when 2.0 is stable. I've had some problems with duplicity. Mainly the initial sync took incredibly long and once a few directories got corrupted (could not get decrypted by gpg anymore).

I run a daily incremental backup and send the encrypted diffs to a cloud storage box. I also use SyncThing to share some files between my phone and other devices, so those get picked up by duplicity on those devices.

In the process of moving stuff over to Backblaze. Home PCs, few clients PCs, client websites all pointing at it now, happy with the service and price. Two unraid instances push the most important data to an azure storage a/c - but imagine i'll move that to BB soon as well.
Docker backups are similar to post above, tarball the whole thing weekly as a get out of jail card - this is not ideal but works for now until i can give it some more attention.

*i have no link to BB other than being a customer who wanted to reduce reliance on scripts and move stuff out of azure for cost reasons.

Would I be correct to assume you are using Backblaze PC backup rather than B2?

[–] Oli@fedia.io 1 points 1 year ago

Yes, for now. I'll be spinning up some B2 this week however.
