Anyone using https://kopia.io/?

Recently moved from restic to kopia. Faster, finer policy controls. Pretty good

I have done a few test restores without issues.

Holy shit, this looks awesome. Are you using it?

Edit: Hmm, supported by Veeam. Seems like this would eat into Veeam customer base, I know my first thought was using this instead of Veeam.

Looks like it's based on a product that Veeam bought (Kasten). I'm not sure how much Veeam technology is used here, but I admit it does look interesting.

Buying the competition to kill it can be a strategy. But there's still development, so I hope to be wrong.

My backup strategy? Simple - there is none. Never let yourself get cucked into creating data you cannot easily reobtain.

Guys, how do you do shared hosting backups?

For example: Racknerd has Jetbackup on their cPanel server, but you can only download backups (even from reseller stuff).
Couple years ago when I tried hostmantis their JetBack was able to do "offsite backups with your creds". I can specify ftp/sftp server and HM's JetBackup store backups on my side. Racknerd can't do this.

For sure, I can download backup once a week manually. But...
May be there are any other solution for "shared-backup-task" ?

Thanks.

I use the cpanel functionality to backup all users to a local directory ( a scheduled job ). A script from one remote server will connect to my reseller account through ftp and download every user backup.

My servers are not backed-up, I couldn’t give a shit if the data gets lost. I have the necessary information to recreate any configurations I need.

My important personal data is backed up to two physical storage devices (one solid state that travels with me, one spinning that stays at my house) and to 2 separate cloud storage providers.

I do something similar. I see this getting harder as data gets larger but thankfully my critical data is not much.

For personal media where my content is larger, I have a vps backup, cloud back and I use Blu ray burning to offset this (with clearly some level of potential risk if I remove what I have written to Blu ray from disk)

As I'm running everything thats possible as a docker service I use docker-backup and borgbackup in a combination which works really well.. Plus I wrote a bash script that sends notifications with log files to matrix so I'm always informed whats happening.
