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

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

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.

At this moment I use too many tools.

For user data on my PC and on home server I mostly use Duplicacy. It is fast and efficient. All data backed up locally on NAS box over SFTP, and a subset of that data is backed up to S3 cloud storage.

I have a Mac, this one is using TimeMachine, storing data on NAS, then it's synced to S3 cloud storage one a day.

And on top of that VMs and containers from home server are backed up by Proxmox built in tool to NAS. These mostly exclude user data.

An external hard drive works 100%. And relying on .dotfiles to redownload the whole thing back.

...I mean, it takes like less than 3 minutes to redownload and 5 reconfiguring everything manually, so eh.

I just use MegaSync, which backsup my config folder and documents folder.

On phone, I use syncthing to backup to home server (I never knew syncthing can backup over WAN), then synced to MegaSync. I also keep all the files on MegaSync on my server just in case megasync suddenly goes down one day.

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.

i simply use freefilesync

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

I use Pika and Timeshift.

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

A hand-made combination of tar, rsync and rclone, to a set of portable drives and remote systems.

After having suffering the breakage of computers since the 80's, I want to have the easiest way of restoring backups as possible.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.
