Sometime back, I asked this question on the r/selfhosted (Post) regarding self-hosting password managers on premise. One of the things that the people focused upon was managing backups effectively, I have summarized the intent of the post in a short form blog here if you want a TL;DR version of it.
Post that, I started exploring options of having automated off-site backups for some of the essential data from the services that I am self-hosting.
Currently, I have a solution in place (rclone + bash scripts) to do it, and it’s been working great since past 1 month. Hence, I decided to write about it and share it across if it’s something that might help them set up an automated solution for themselves as well.
Here is the blog: https://akashrajpurohit.com/blog/how-i-safeguard-essential-data-in-my-homelab-with-offsite-backup-on-cloud/
I would also love to know if folks around here have their own solutions or ways of backing up important data in their home-lab.
Daily restic backup of OS and Data to Backblaze. Cant be happier
That’s great!
Have you ever had to restore from Backblaze or tested the restores to make sure they work and are being backed up correctly?
