Started my self-hosting journey a couple of year ago with a Raspberry Pi, OpenMediaVault and a couple of Docker containers. This week i finally managed to move my Adguard Home container and my DNS setup over to my NAS, which was the final thing that kept the Pi running. I also synched all the data to the NAS.
The next step I am trying to figure out is a decent backup setup. Read about Borg, Restic and Kopia, but haven't decided on one of them yet. What are you guys using?
Use the one that makes most sense to you for restores.
Backup a folder, then restore it somewhere else... if any of the applications causes you problems for your setup, move on.
Good point. I was going to set 1-2 of them up and find out what suits my needs.
Just looking at my NAS now...
I used to use Kopia to backup to a Backblaze B2 bucket, but I've moved to Restic as I can backup over ssh to a NAS at a family member's home and to a Hetzner storage box.
Purely from reading about the different tools Restic is also my favourite at the moment. I mainly want to use it so my client devices can do backups on my NAS and maybe at some later stage backup my NAS to a NAS at a family members home just like you do.
I settled on Kopia myself but I always seem to see the others mentioned
