I see many posts asking about what other lemmings are hosting, but I’m curious about your backups.

I’m using duplicity myself, but I’m considering switching to borgbackup when 2.0 is stable. I’ve had some problems with duplicity. Mainly the initial sync took incredibly long and once a few directories got corrupted (could not get decrypted by gpg anymore).

I run a daily incremental backup and send the encrypted diffs to a cloud storage box. I also use SyncThing to share some files between my phone and other devices, so those get picked up by duplicity on those devices.

    I use backupninja for the scheduling and management of all the processes. The actual backups are done by rsync, rdiff, borg, and the b2 tool from backblaze depending on the type and destination of the data. I back up everything to a second internal drive, an external drive, and a backblaze bucket for the most critical stuff. Backupninja manages multiple snapshots within the borg repository, and rdiff lets me only copy new data for the large directories.
