I am currently attempting to degoogle and at the same time move to an entirely self hosted ecosystem.
I've set up a NAS and have syncthing to deal with the dropbox/gdrive type things and have backup on a raid disk. What I am looking for now is a backup solution that can backup to my nas and in the future a remote device - probably to another nas at a family member's hous
Can anyone recommend a backup solution for this?
Technically I am not looking to degoogle as I don't gave a Google solution for this- but I guess I'm looking for a self hosted alternative to GCP backup.
Syncthing is excellent for phone sync.
What I did was have it running on a system in the network of the nas, mount the nas on that system, and place the backups folder in the nas.
If you have a system that reliably runs, or can get syncthing running on the nas, I recommend doing that.
Synology has docker iirc, there aught to be a syncthing container.
Else, slapping a pi zero into the nas' network should do the trick and be fully independent of what the nas is.
Use something like rclone (that can use file change deltas) when you just need to copy files to remotes and feel free to combine it with an incremental backup solutions like Borg or restic or some custom rsync scripting. Example: keep a Borg repository of your laptop or emails or whatever with whatever retention policy you want. Then copy your repository anywhere with rclone or similar.
This looks nice, but I have a fear of sexy looking free stuff because usually it means in a couple of years they'll pull the rug from under you as they try and become profitable.
I've been using Duplicacy and like it. Everything backs up to my server via Seafile (files) and Immich (photos). Then Duplicacy has a couple of B2 buckets it backs everything up to. Seems to work pretty well so far.
I've tried numerous terminal based backups like restic and Borg, but my newb brain still needs a GUI I guess. I've seen various UIs for those last 2 but haven't tried them yet.
