How do you guys back up your server?
I have a home server that I’m using and hosting files on it. I’m worried about it breaking and loosing access to the files. So what method do you use to backup everything?

Backblaze on a B2 account. 0.005$ per gb. You pay for the storage you use. You pay for when you need to download your backup.
On my truenas server, it's easy as pie to setup and easy as 🥧 to restore a backup when needed.
I'll add to this that restic works amazingly with Backblaze.
I also recommend B2, it’s an S3 compatible service so any backup software/scripts/plugins that work with S3 should work with Backblaze.
Maybe I'm stupid, but what is B2? A Backblaze product?
Yes it's their cloud storage.
I didn't realize they did anything other than that!
I think they had some form of cloud computing at some point but they now focus on B2 and some backup tools that utilize B2.
B2 is awesome. I have Duplicati set up on OpenMediaVault to backup my OS nightly to B2 (as well as a local copy to the HDD).
