Taffer 🇨🇦 :godot:<a href="https://mastodon.social/@nixCraft" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@nixCraft</a> I’m using restic and some shell scripts to control it. Getting tempted to make a GUI for it though, I haven’t found a good one.<a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/restic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#restic</a>

Rainer<a href="https://mastodon.social/@nixCraft" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@nixCraft</a> I use <a href="https://norden.social/tags/restic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#restic</a> and <a href="https://norden.social/tags/resticprofile" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#resticprofile</a> .

Taffer 🇨🇦 :godot:Since I had restic scripts that worked the way I like, and I installed Homebrew and restic on my wife's laptop yesterday…I just adapted my scripts to her Mac and started a proper backup. Duh. I've also made a .plist so I can set it up to run every hour once the initial upload is done.The terminal-notifier app doesn't currently work in 15.3 though. 🤷 <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/macos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#macos</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/restic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#restic</a>

Atomic Katemy <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/restic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#restic</a> backup setup is more and more becoming a scripting hell, but hey it's pretty cool to be able to restore a backup from prod in a vm and have everything working!

Matthew Slowe… obligatory thankyou to <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/restic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#restic</a> and <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/rsync" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rsync</a>.net for my backups (which just worked!)

kaybeeque 🍁💪💪🍁The sweet sound of 18GB of laptop home directory being backed up via SFTP to an external USB3 drive caddy (4TB drive) attached to the home server NUC. Only 10GB after being compressed and stored in the repo.Thanks very much for the <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/restic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#restic</a> recommendation <a href="https://mastodon.neilzone.co.uk/@neil" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@neil</a>! It does exactly what I was looking for. 👍👍<a href="https://fosstodon.org/@restic" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@restic</a>

The DoctorDoes anybody know if there is a way to tell <a href="https://hackers.town/tags/restic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#restic</a> which network interface or IP address to use when it makes an offsite <a href="https://hackers.town/tags/backup" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#backup</a>?

Andreas Scherbaum<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Restic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Restic</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Backup" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Backup</a> question:in <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/resticprofile" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#resticprofile</a> I have a "run-before" hook. If this hook fails, I am looking for a way to "just stop" the backup, but do not raise an error.Example: I'm using this hook to mount a backup disk (which is - intentionally - not always mounted). If the disk is not available, do not run the backup. But also do not raise an error.Backups itself are monitored differently.Any ideas?

Jan ☕🎼🎹☁️🏋️‍♂️Removed (using restic rewrite) old data from <a href="https://fedi.kcore.org/tags/restic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#restic</a>, now running a prune... Might take a while.Predicted a saving of +-200gb. Which isn't too shabby.

Jan ☕🎼🎹☁️🏋️‍♂️I've got a rather long backup retention configuration, and today I was happy I had it.I *thought* I still had a live copy of a database dump of a past project with a lot of recipes gathered over a decade. Couldn't find it anywhere.The most recent copy I found was in a backup of 2022 ;)Stored safely in <a href="https://fedi.kcore.org/tags/restic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#restic</a>.

M. ForesterHey all you <a href="https://rollenspiel.social/tags/Restic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Restic</a> fans. Have you seen <a href="https://rollenspiel.social/tags/Redu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Redu</a> yet? 🤩<a href="https://github.com/drdo/redu/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://github.com/drdo/redu/</a>"redu in a nutshell: it's ncdu for your restic repo."This popped up seemingly within hours of Restic announcing their latest version, which has a feature that generates ncdu compatible output.This is a great tool to visualize what's actually in your backup. Im my case I even found some files on disk that could be deleted. 😅It also helps generate an exclude file to keep these unwanted files out.Check it out. 🙂

dlemperI‘m overwhelmed by the possibilities for a backup software: - do I want to use <a href="https://norden.social/tags/borgbackup" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#borgbackup</a> or <a href="https://norden.social/tags/restic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#restic</a> - if borg: <a href="https://norden.social/tags/borgmatic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#borgmatic</a> is the right choice over plain borg? - if restic: should I use <a href="https://norden.social/tags/resticprofile" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#resticprofile</a> , <a href="https://norden.social/tags/crestic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#crestic</a> or <a href="https://norden.social/tags/autorestic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#autorestic</a> ? Or maybe a completely other tool?I just want to backup my servers and workstations and I‘d like to read your opinions on this 🙂

Nikita KaramovI’ve finally started to consider an off-site backup location. I don’t have enough data to justify building a server to put in my parents' house (yet), so cloud it is.So far, I’m leaning towards <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Backblaze" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Backblaze</a> B2. Do you have anything good (or bad) to say about it, or can recommend other services to check out?I want: one (EU-based) location, no (or small) egress fees, pricing per GB (or less), no minimum charge. I use <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/restic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#restic</a>, so backend doesn’t matter (S3, FTP, DAV, you name it).<a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/BoostsWelcome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BoostsWelcome</a>

Jan ☕🎼🎹☁️🏋️‍♂️Thanks to the wonderful help of the creator of <a href="https://fedi.kcore.org/tags/restic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#restic</a> on the restic IRC channel, my (not-due-to-restic) broken repository is back in working order. While not a great thing to encounter, it has given me renewed confidence in the tool and it's ability to get you back in a working, consistent state.<a href="https://fosstodon.org/@restic" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@restic</a>

Jan Kalk<a href="https://fedi.kcore.org/@jan" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@jan</a> <a href="https://emacs.ch/@louis" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@louis</a> I did some testing and it seems like downloading recently uploaded files is the issue. Doing check <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/restic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#restic</a> —read-data on an old backup job that hasn’t been touched in a while went without any error or warning. The same on an active backup job got a lot of download errors and the files needed one retry to be downloaded correctly. The check ended with no error that couldn’t be corrected.I think <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/jottacloud" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#jottacloud</a> does have an issue with their backend but it isn’t a deal breaker.

Robert BuchbergerI've been slowly iterating on a <a href="https://spacey.space/tags/restic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#restic</a> wrapper for the past several years, and now I think it's good enough to share. It's <200 lines of pure <a href="https://spacey.space/tags/posix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#posix</a> <a href="https://spacey.space/tags/shell" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#shell</a> with no dependencies, and it handles the more tricky aspects of restic nicely.<a href="https://github.com/rbuchberger/res-man" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://github.com/rbuchberger/res-man</a><a href="https://spacey.space/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#linux</a> <a href="https://spacey.space/tags/backups" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#backups</a>

Jan ☕🎼🎹☁️🏋️‍♂️Did a comparison between <a href="https://fedi.kcore.org/tags/jottacloud" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#jottacloud</a>, <a href="https://fedi.kcore.org/tags/hetzner" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hetzner</a> <a href="https://fedi.kcore.org/tags/storagebox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#storagebox</a> and <a href="https://fedi.kcore.org/tags/Mega" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mega</a> for +- a month.Meant for off-site <a href="https://fedi.kcore.org/tags/backups" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#backups</a>, storing +- 6TB. Tools used are <a href="https://fedi.kcore.org/tags/restic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#restic</a> and <a href="https://fedi.kcore.org/tags/rclone" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rclone</a>. All data is encrypted client side before being shipped to the cloud.Comparing up-times, speeds (both down and up), and the correctness of the data stored. The last part was done using a VPS, and the data was found to be identical.On speed (up and down) Jotta wins, Hetzner comes second, Mega fluctuates wildly.On up-time Jotta and Hetzner tie, Mega went off-line for me at some points (worrysome)On price Jotta also wins. Mega comes second, Hetzner last.So I'll stick with Jotta. It's hosted in europe, it's fast, it's priced decently, support reacted fast when I asked some (noob) questions.

Jan ☕🎼🎹☁️🏋️‍♂️What do people use to do <a href="https://fedi.kcore.org/tags/offsite" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#offsite</a> <a href="https://fedi.kcore.org/tags/backups" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#backups</a> with?Currently I have a <a href="https://fedi.kcore.org/tags/zfs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#zfs</a> pool, on which I take a daily snapshot of certain datasets, clone them, and send those using <a href="https://fedi.kcore.org/tags/restic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#restic</a> to a <a href="https://fedi.kcore.org/tags/hetzner" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hetzner</a> <a href="https://fedi.kcore.org/tags/storagebox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#storagebox</a> (with <a href="https://fedi.kcore.org/tags/encryption" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#encryption</a>, <a href="https://fedi.kcore.org/tags/dedup" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dedup</a> and <a href="https://fedi.kcore.org/tags/compression" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#compression</a> activated). Currently I have snapshots going back to mid 2022, which are being pruned according to a schedule, but I've already exceeded 5TB of storage. I'd like something that'd perhaps slightly less convoluted, but also doesn't break the bank. I'd love to use straight ZFS <a href="https://fedi.kcore.org/tags/replication" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#replication</a> but that is priced out of my budget.
