hi peeps.
Im early on my selfhosting journey and managed to setup some things as a test in docker. the main service im looking to run is ERPNext. after a while I got it up and running so now I want to back this up including all the customization I did in the app.
where to start with this? any intuitive guide?
I backup the whole / with borg
It has insane deduplication and compression
Borg is a solid choice, but over the last couple years I’ve transitioned to Restic which prefer slightly. It seems a lot faster, has better usability/ergonomics, and easier to configure a write-only setup (so your server can write snapshots, but is incapable of deleting and such).
I’ve never tried restic.
I’m happy with borg and no real reason to switch.
Just wanted to add that borgmatic is like a configuration manager for borg backup. Still CLI & config file, and just running borg commands on the back end, but adds some nice features like notifications while really simplifying the configuration required.
