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.

    Restic using resticprofile for scheduling and configuring it. I do frequent backups to my NAS and have a second schedule that pushes to Backblaze B2.

    I use borgbackup + zabbix for monitoring.

    At home, I have all my files get backed up to rsync.net since the price is lower for borg repos.

    At work, I have a dedicated backup server running borgbackup that pulls backups from my servers and stores it locally as well as uploading to rsync.net. The local backup means restoring is faster, unless of course that dies.

    I have a central NAS server that hosts all my personal files and shares them (via smb, ssh, syncthing and jellyfin). It also pulls backups from all my local servers and cloud services (google drive, onedrive, dropbox, evernote, mail, calender and contacts, etc.). It runs zfs raid 1 and snapshots every 15 minute. Every night it backs up important files to Backblaze in a US region and azure in a EU region (using restic).

    I have a bootstrap procedure in place to do a “clean room recovery” assuming I lost access to all my devices - i only need to remember a tediously long encryption password for a small package containing everything needed to recover from scratch. It is tested every year during Christmas holidays including comparing every single backed and restored file with the original via md5/sha256 comparison.

    I usually write my own scripts with rsync for backups since I already have my OS installs pretty much automated also with scripts.

    I use a Backuppc instance hosted on an off site server with a 1Tb drive. It connects through ssh to all my vms and backups /home and any other folders i may need. It handles full and incremental backups, deduplication, and compression.

    Holy crap. Duplicity is what I’ve been missing my entire life. Thank you for this.

    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?

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

    For the 14 pcs (~8 regularly used) in my house I’m running daily backups with Synology Active for Backup to a spinning disk DiskStation, file sync of the User directory using Synology Drive to an SSD DiskStation (also backed up to HDD DS). That data is all deduplicated. Then additionally I’ve got a few custom scripts to keep programs up to date using Chocolatey and winget which then export the list of installed programs ready to be reinstalled on a new machine.

    This allows me to either do full device restores or clean installs where the reinstall of the relevant programs is handled automatically and then it’s just setting up sync/backup/office activation and we’re off to the races.
