I have a home server that I’m using and hosting files on it. I’m worried about it breaking and loosing access to the files. So what method do you use to backup everything?

    For my webserver, mysqldump to a secured folder, then restic backup the whole /svr folder, then rsync the restic backup to another server. Also have a system that emails me if these things don’t happen daily. The log files are uploaded to a url, the log file is checked for simple errors, and if no file is uploaded in time, email.

    Of course, in my case, the url files are uploaded to - and the email server… are the same server I’m backing up… but at least if that becomes a problem, I probably only need the backups I’ve already made to my second server.
