What are your backup solutions?

Show off about your streamlined system here.

Personally, I'm looking to automate encrypted and compressed backups from my Windows 10 machine to a storage VPS and looking for suggestions and ideas.

    For my dedi's and vps's, shoot off a script once a week to tar up the root directory excluding some directories that I don't care about or that have a large amount of easily replaceable data. Then use a gdrive CLI tool to upload it to my Google Drive account I have through my university.

    I only keep two tar backups per server (deleting the oldest one when it's time to upload again). Probably not the most efficient by any means, but hey it works. For my machines at home, I just save important files/directories to my NAS.

    Website files use script to automatically tar up and upload to 2 different remote ftp, daily.

    Mysqldump for every 6 hours, dump and upload to remote ftp.

    And my favorite, a slave replication server for database.

    All those files are located in 3 different small VPS to prevent anything bad from happening

    I use Rsnapshot, external drives and backup location.

    You can create a backup cloud machine at your home for easy backups and restore.
    You can watch this video:

    Websites are mirrored to a VPS, then a tar.xz goes to S3. Have S3 set to automatically transition from IA to Glacier over time so this is really dirt cheap.

    At home I manually spin up a server with a pile of drives in it and copy reasonably important stuff there, then shut the thing back down. On machines owned by others in the home that happen to be Macs I have them running TM going to a Time Capsule - has saved more hours than I can count.

    ...unfortunately I don't think any of this will help you with your Windows 10 predicament.

    I store all backups in /dev/null, basically infinity cloud storage.

    It depends:

    • shared hosting servers: Jetbackup to a storage server with raid 6 located at Hetzner (separate network/country than servers itself)
    • management/billing boxes: R1Soft + rsnapshot
    • Big DBs: Slave setup with a nightly snapshot
    • Work station: Stored (encrypted) on S3 compatible storage at online.net
    • Code for projects: stored at github, and S3

    Bigvps.io 1TB/$10 backups. FTP storage at ~50MB/s

  • bugrakocbugrakoc Member

    Transip STACK. 1TB for free. I just tar+bz2+encrypt and upload there with a shell script.

    For me non-important stuff (including home home pc/laptop, vps-es which are not used to host things etc) is backed up to 2x8TB drives in soft raid1 connected to cubieboard and located under TV. Local ISP is very generous to provide unlimited (and by unlimited i mean actually unlimited) 100Mbit connection for cheap and it seemed like the cheapest solution to me.

    Important stuff, like actual documents, photos, production sites etc is additionaly uploaded to remote storage, which for now is a couple of dedicated servers from dacentec with 2x2Tb soft raid1.

    Tried some cheaper solutions like openvz storage vps-es, but in the end i prefer to pay few $ more and get convinient/reliable backups than to fight with openvz limitations and "too cheap" provider issues.

    Software is mostly borgbackup on linux and duplicati2 on windows. In some cases there are also simple scripts like dd+encryption from lvm snapshot.

    As far as software goes, I've been using Unison for a while now and it has made both synchronizing files across devices and backup painless. I wrote a blog post at http://blog.perennate.com/20160531_unison.html but it is pretty straightforward to use.

    But if you just want backup (and don't need to synchronize across devices) then some kind of rsync setup probably works fine.

    Edit: actually, although the stream is encrypted over SSH, the remote replica is stored in plaintext, so maybe this won't work for you. duplicati (which Gamma17 mentioned earlier) supports incremental encrypted backups and is pretty easy to use.

    I used to use tarsnap which is a great product. But I am trying out rclone now.

    Script to backup mysql and vhost root.

    Sent to local backup folder

    Local backup folder sent via Rclone to Hubic

    Hubic is slow but works well for websites. God bless you!

  • seanhoseanho Member

    A bit experimental, but given that lots of folks like borg, you could try running it under LXSS (the Linux subsystem under Windows 10):

    Personally, I use burp on various Windows clients: 7, 8.1, 10.

  • 24x7servermanagement24x7servermanagement Member

    Tried rclone or Rsnapshot, both works great. :)

    I run bash scripts in while loops to compress data, upload to backblaze b2, and then delete the compressed file.
