Question for crypto (as in cryptographic) nerds, I am looking for an automated solution for on-prem backups that encrypts said backup. The plan is to take said encrypted backup and store it off sight. Prefer open source, and for further context consider this "home lab" although it does involve multiple servers with public IPs etc. I do not want to have the encryption key easily reachable like in plaintext in a config file.
Right now this is all happening manually, but automated would make this so much easier. It does not have to be a full end-to-end solution, even just the encrypting part being able to be automated would be fine as I could simply script around it. Thoughts and recommendations?
Vorrei iniziare ad utilizzare nextcloud per i miei servizi cloud, ma sono indeciso se mettere su un mio server, oppure affidarmi ad un servizio VPS o similare? La mia paura del locale è la possibile perdita di dati (penso sempre ad ogni possibile disatro) #nextcloud#cloud#selfhosting#server#backup
What are some best practices for setting up your #backup when working with large files locally on your machine?
For example, I'm working with OpenStreetMap data. The planet is 75 GB in size. I don't need to back that up, I can download it again should the need arise.
However, I'm also creating derived data from it, in files with a similar size, and generating them can take hours. I'd like to have a local backup in case of accidental rm, but don't want to clog up my disk with these backups.

An Obsidian user on Medium recently lost an entire vault to data corruption because of an encryption plugin.
I’m very sorry this happened to them, and that they didn’t have a backup.
Truly, if our notes in Obsidian can’t function without features that exist only in that app, we’ve shackled ourselves to the wall of a prison without a door.
Always have an exit plan! Always backup your work! And never lock all your data with a key you don’t own.
As planned last week, in tomorrow's weekly #BSDPub meetup, we'll delve into backup strategies and showcase some behind-the-scenes of the BSD Cafe setup and its backups. More details on the event's website: https://bsdpub.bsd.cafe
The last few days, after almost 3 years, I finally got over myself to re-install our #network, #nas and #pihole and reworked the #backup strategy as well (#encryption and stuff). I am glad that this is finally done. 🫣
I have a home server with various services running (all isolated with different user accounts). The server has a small SSD and a big external HDD, but I'd like to make external backups to my cloud account. The cloud service has a proprietary command line application to sync data, so backups would ideally be date separated compressed tar files that it can then sync. An additional complication are PostgreSQL and SQLite databases that can't just be copied without risking breaking the integrity of the files.
How would you do the backups? Do you have some existing app that you could suggest? I'm sure I can whip up some script to do it, but I wouldn't mind if there was something already made.

Restic is a command line tool that supports a lot of storage solutions S3, SFTP, DAV, etc. There are some beta UI but I run it in scheduled jobs using a systemd timer. It can encrypt the data. For the database: postgresql have a backup tool to dump the databases to a file that then you can backup with the rest (I keep 7 local copies) #restic#backup#postgresql
We all know that Gmail is a big name in the mailing business. Multiple businesses using the G Suite, after having all safety features still there will be a need to have a copy of the G Suite emails. There is a need for a G suite Backup and Restore tool that will complete the backup process in a minimum period. ...
Eigentlich wollte ich heute mal mit dem Rad eine längere Tour unternehmen, ist mir dann aber doch zu windig. Also werde ich mich stattdessen mal um mein Telefon kümmern und endlich das in die Jahre gekommene /e/-OS (aus irgend einem Grund bekomme ich da seit längerem keine Aktualisierungen mehr ... :undecided: ) gegen #iodéOS tauschen.
Mal schauen, ob ich auf der Checkliste auch wirklich alles beachtet habe damit es danach wieder so funktioniert wie ich es haben möchte :wink: :
What do folks like for Linux offsite backup providers?
I have a Linux desktop with 1-2 TB of data that I want backed up on someone else's servers. I'm currently using Crashplan but my primary use case is data corruption which leads to lost files, and crashplan won't show me a list of recently deleted files that I need to restore. (also they're more business than individual focused now)
