Best Back Up Solution For Multiple Servers (lemmy.world)

submitted 3 days ago by irmadlad@lemmy.world to c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

8 comments fedilink hide all child comments

So, I run three VPS and one rack in the closet. Currently I have Duplicati running on all four servers. What I would like to do is have one central server back up all four servers and store the backups in an offsite repository.

I'd prefer something with a good GUI. I know you purist get a hard on thinking about the CLI, and while it is a very powerful aspect of Linux, I still like a GUI.

What are my options?

Side note, I wanted to look at Bacula but their site seems nonexistent. Is Bacula defunct?

I will always recommend Borg backup just because of it's compression+de-duplication algorithms:

550gb of raw data, 20 historical backups going back over a year (10.98tb of data total), only 400gb of disc space used to store them all...

You can backup directly to remote servers via ssh, nfs, or directly between two borg instances, optionally encrypted in transit and at rest.

Borg is a CLI tool normally, but there are a number of GUI frontends you can use if you really want: Vorta, BorgWeb, and BorgWarehouse for example. (I've not used any of these, just examples from a google search)

I use Borgmatic for my scheduled backups, and sync to Backblaze B2 with Rclone. Works great!

My data doesn't compress as well as yours though.

restic also written to do what borg does but fix a bunch of the shortcomings that they also now fixed (many of) in the new 2.0/2.x versions

I use self hosted borg repo to backup to a local server and then also borgbase is a service that allows remote backup.

Borgmatic automates all of this.

@Darkassassin07 @irmadlad @selfhosted I'm using restic, but I'm getting to a point where borgwarehouse might be a better solution, thanks!

I looked at Borg, didn't see a GUI, but Borgwarehouse look good. It's on the list. Thanks

Using Veeam.
It's whole purpose is doing backups from small deployments up to the datacenter level.
Might be worth taking a look.
And the documentation is very good.
