I’ve been backing up to a dedicated hard disk within the same server for all my backups in case my disks fail. And as I run more and more services, the concern of disks failures grow bigger.

I’m looking for a cheapish off-site backup solution and I’m just curious what everyone does for their 3-2-1 backup solutions.

    I use restic/borg (depending on servers) and push to a bunch of S3 buckets on Backblaze. This applies to my desktop, my NAS and in general my non-Kubernetes data.

    For Kubernetes I wrote a small tool that…well does the same for PVCs. Packs up the data with restic (soon I hope to migrate to rustic, once the library gets polished) and pushes to Backblaze.

    To give an idea of the pricing, for 730GB, with daily backups or more, I pay approximately $5 a month.

      Restic is fantastic. It’s just one binary, has support for various cloud services (including Backblaze which I use as well), snapshots which can be mounted with FUSE. It’s really quite useful. Borg I believe is similar?

      Either way, I feel like today there is no reason to use awkward rsync solutions when better tools are out that have proven themselves.
