Restic in the homelab and Veeam at work. I’m pretty happy with both!

I use Raspberry Pi 4 with connected external HDD and installed Nextcloud

Restic (local repo) which I sync onto a Hetzner Storagebox using rclone.

Vorta (Borg GUI). It's simple to use.

i simply use freefilesync

I've used a combination of

• Managing ZFS snapshots with pyznap
• Plain old rsync to copy important files that happen not to be on ZFS filesystems to ZFS.

If I were doing this over today, I'd probably consider https://zrepl.github.io/ instead of pyznap, as pyznap is no longer receiving real active development.

In the past I've used rdiff-backup, which is great but it's hard to beat copy-on-write snapshots for speed and being lightweight.

I use Pika and Timeshift.

I use boring old zfs snapshot + zfs send -i.
It's not pretty, but it's reliable.

Duplicity over SSH to my backup NAS, which then backs up to a cloud service iDrive weekly.

My phone and tablet are both Samsung, which uses OneDrive for backups

Time shift with rsync, and on occasion I clonezilla the drive and save it to my NAS.

Well it was duplicati, until it pulled this bullshit on me. I had a critical local failure of my data a month ago, 2.8TB lost. Pulled the backup off AWS S3 with my linux server, asked Duplicati to restore it, and it's failed 4 times for random reasons, taking a week to get there each time. Once I can get this backup to finally restore, I'm moving over to Duplicity.

If only restic deduplicated... But other than that it does okay.

I’ve recently started using proxmox -backup-client. Works well. Goes to my backup server along with my vm image backups. Works nicely with full deducing and such. Quite good savings if you are backing up multiple machines.

I the. Rsync this up to cloud once a day.

I have no relevant data locally. My Documents is a symlink to a Nextcloud directory running on my Synology NAS on a RAID1 that backups to cloud storage via one of their tools (forgot which one).

I never liked having to backup working machines. If it breaks I'm fine with having to install again. I won't lose data though.

rsync (laptop -> external HDD, workstation -> dedicated backup HDD)
Syncthing (laptop <-> desktop)

Deja Dup backs my local machines to my Synology NAS. That uses Hyper-backup to send everything to Dropbox.

I just map my entire documents, pictures and other important home folders to subfolders inside Dropbox. This propagates all of my files across all of my computers via the cloud and makes everything accessible from my phone as well.

I don't worry about backing up my operating system, though important configuration file locations are also mapped into Dropbox for easily setting things up again. Complete portable apps are also located in Dropbox.

I s3 sync everything to a versioned S3 bucket out on the internets.

Truenas on a inexpensive server with RAID. I have several computers in different rooms in the house I like to make music on, and on these pc's my network drives all have the same drive letters for the sample libraries, recordings, projects, and backup. So my projects can run from any computer without missing files. I always save locally and on the Truenas.
