I just got my home server up and running and was wondering what you guys recommend for backups. I figure it will probably be worth having backups on cloud servers tjay are external, are there any good services yall use for that?

I use OneDrive. Buy the Costco subscription and get like 15 months for around 110 CAD. GIVES 6 TB. I create some fake accountsink the sharing to my main account. I have an encrypted rxlone share for some things and others I GPG encryot the tar before sending it up. Been working fine for a couple years and I have multiple TB backed up.

My truenas backs up to B2 Backblaze. Set it up years ago and haven't touched it since.

(you should test your backups)

You may have, but this is a friendly reminder just in case.

Yeah I have. I work in tech, so I know better :)

Restic using resticprofile to configure and schedule backup runs.

AWS Glacier. I use the Synology plugin that does it automatically on a schedule.

Their prices are ridicules if you add cost of outbound traffic.

I hope to never have to restore from there. It’s not something you’re to do frequently.

I use nightly borg backup to a separate box and then that box uses rclone to back up the borg repo offsite. Before running the borg backup I export all databases and docker volumes so they get picked up.
