7 backups, though the frequency they're taken (daily Vs weekly Vs monthly) depends on the service.
Why don't you exclude logs from your backups? databases sure yes that's where the real info is (not sure why you don't consider it real data) but logs are useless outside of the current running instance.
I didn't really want to poke through each containers files to figure out where it stores logs, plus it adds risk that I'm not backing up something I should.
When I say databases aren't real data, I'm more talking about them changing every day despite nothing happening. Even if I haven't taken any photos or opened the app, today's db dump of immich is not the same as yesterday's db dump so restic stores it as a new unique file.
I did mean to ask, why restic into Borg instead of just Borg?
on the logs thing that's fair enough, most of the stuff I use has a clear "logs" folder I can exclude, and I checked what the backup contains Vs what the container data folder has before calling it a day
I'm not doing any sort of backup conversion. Borgbase is a website that focuses on hosting borg backups, but they also natively support restic. I chose restic out of convenience for my local backups because it came preinstalled on truenas and figured it made sense to use the same for my cloud backups.
