Hi all, I'm at that part of my homelab journey where I've setup a bunch of fun stuff and now I'm starting to think about helpful stuff like backups.

I have a raspberry pi 4 setup with open media vault and docker running various services. I would like to add one or more services (in containers if necessary) to accomplish the following:

  1. Make an image of bootdrives of my computers on a schedule
    1. save those images to the attached storage.
    2. reimaging solution for recovery
  2. Backup secondary, non-bootdrives of my computers (just copying is probably fine)

I'm just wondering how to best add services and which would do it. If I should use syncthing/duplicati + something else or if there is one thing that can do it all. I'm not sure how incremental backups fit in here either but I'd like to implement that to reduce the burden of network traffic (in my home we have to use wi-fi a lot).

For drive images I've used the free version of Macrium reflect before (and I've heard of acronis), but just on one of my windows pc's. I'd like to have something scheduled from the server side for centralised management.

Does it make sense what I'm trying to achieve?
