A big topic that keeps me up at night is a good backup solution.

I‘ve been hosting my stuff for a while now, currently running a Ubuntu 24 VPS with Coolify and a couple apps and Databases in it.

I tried a few tools but have not found the right solution. In my dreams it should be a whole server backup with oneclick recovery in minutes, when my Server breaks. I don’t want to spend hours installing the whole infrastructure and inserting the old data in the correct folders. That’s not Fail proof enough for me. So I’m currently paying my Hoster to make full backups… not ideal I want to host it my self.

I like to start that discussion even tho there is no true answer but to get different perspectives how other people handle this.

How ware you doing it?

How are professionals doing it? - I guess when a Microsoft server fails they don’t spend hours rebuilding it.

What lets you sleep good at night?
