From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

How do you backup? (lemm.ee)

I recently implemented a backup workflow for me. I heavily use restic for desktop backup and for a full system backup of my local server. It works amazingly good. I always have a versioned backup without a lot of redundant data. It is fast, encrypted and compressed.

But I wondered, how do you guys do your backups? What software do you use? How often do you do them and what workflow do you use for it?

My work flow is pretty similar to yours:

For my desktop and laptops: systemd timer and service that backups every 15 minutes using restic to my NAS.

For my NAS : daily backup using restic + ZFS snapshots.

All restic backups are then uploaded daily to Backblaze B2.

Do you create ZFS snapshots and let those be backed up to B2 via restic or do you backup different types of data, one with ZFS snapshots and one with restic?

Only restic snapshots are backed-up to B2. ZFS snapshots are for undoing mistakes, though I enabled them recently and I have yet to use them.

Gotcha, thanks! Similar setup to mine then.
