Hello, I have been building and maintaining my on-prem home lab for the past couple of years and have finally come to a point of "stability" (I've stopped adding new services every two days). Over the course of these years I have been manually backing up the system (Currently Ubuntu server 24.04.2) using the tty. This mainly looks like - 1.)Run command to compress and backup files, then 2.)Use scp to send a copy of compressed files to cloud server. While I am happy doing it this way since it allows me the control of directly accessing my files, it is a little tedious and it would be nice to have a software running that does my backups automatically and has logs.
If any of you have found any scripts, programs, suggestions, and/or software that has this functionality please feel free to point me to their documentation!
- Also, I am open to any opinions on this topic so if you believe it is better to manually backup rather than automatically I will be more than glad to read why.
