How do you all go about backing up your data, on Linux?

Kalcifer@lemmy.world to Linux@lemmy.ml – 192 points –

I'm trying to find a good method of making periodic, incremental backups. I assume that the most minimal approach would be to have a Cronjob run rsync periodically, but I'm curious what other solutions may exist.

I'm interested in both command-line, and GUI solutions.

Is it just me or the backup topic is recurring each few days on !linux@lemmy.ml and !selfhosted@lemmy.world?

To be on topic as well - I use restic+autorestic combo. Pretty simple, I made repo with small script to generate config for different machines and that's it. Storing between machines and b2.

It is a critical one. Maybe needs to be part of an FAQ with link to discussion.

It hasn't succeeded in nagging me to properly back up my data yet, so I think it needs to be discussed even more.
