I am selfhosting PowerDNS for my nameservers on dedirock. What's the best backup solution?

Hi,
Since dedirock doesn't offer backup options.... I am looking for a free backup solution for the entire VPS, to like a storage box or S3 endpoint or even just ftp.
Also that means I can resolve any domain for you. Love from nameserver.
Thanks.

Have 6 name servers. For ns this is true backup.
I would clearly create a new folder on vps called backup
Copy files there via a cron job
And relax
All data is safely backed up
i probably wouldn't bother backing up the entire vps for that, just rsync the container periodically.
can you backup my vpses too while you're at it
I have all record backup on HE.net so that's fine.
Yeah I should either backup container or the files.
Sure. Send me ssh login details pls
Mysqldump + rclone to whatever vps, for example.
I would take a look at Restic.
But also, if it's a dns server why backup the entire vps? Backing up a dns should be nothing more than a couple of config files and maybe a sql dump.
I use Kopia to back up to S3 storage, which is an encrypted incremental backup method that is very flexible and practical.
Also please resolve vps.gift to Chicken.ist
Free backups? Github. Just switch to using Infrastructure-as-Code for everything: system setup, configuration, DNS server state through dnscontrol or something like that ... instant free backup.
Thanks all
