Always used Seafile to backup all of my electronics. Then borgmatic and borgbase as my only remote backup for my entire server. Local backup on another drive every now and then.
Have been having trouble fixing up the latest version of Seafile in docker and I’ve gotten too busy to deal with it over and over.
And now I only have to deal with my own backup data. So Seafile isn’t so useful anymore.
Looking for information on other home server data backup flows.
At most 500Gb of usage is what I expect to idle around. Need integrity checks, best speeds and reputable service. The works, I know.
Looking for same annual pricing as borgbase (~80USD) or better of course.
Here are a couple I found:
- Filen
- Jottacloud
- some Hetzner storage or something
Definetly need a CLI tool with syncing. Or some method for client side encryption backups.
Thoughts? Thanks in advance.
I’m not sure I fully grasp what you want, but Restic is excellent. I use a cronjob to back up on a schedule. It’s command line only. I think there’s a tool to make it a GUI but I haven’t tried it. They have a Docker image available but it’s weird, you have to pass commands to it, it runs, then shuts down when it’s done. I love Docker but that didn’t quite work for me.
I use Backblaze B2 for storage, but any S3 will do. Restic supports all sorts of storage targets.
Credentials and things go in an .env file, or you can put everything into the command line every time.
When it’s time to restore things, you can fricken mount the whole backup you want and browse the files, copy and paste what you need, etc. That part is really cool to me.
Backblaze is $5 or $6 USD per TB per month, so 500GB will be about $36USD a year.
