hi peeps.

Im early on my selfhosting journey and managed to setup some things as a test in docker. the main service im looking to run is ERPNext. after a while I got it up and running so now I want to back this up including all the customization I did in the app.

where to start with this? any intuitive guide?

My setup is easy and reliable:

Bash script that runs restic to backup to backblaze with a 90 day retention snapshot policy and a systemd service + timer.

It runs everyday, everything is backedup to b2, and I don't need to bother with it.

Pros:

  • easy
  • quick
  • reliable
  • private (restic encrypts before sending)
  • don't need to worry about multiple backups as backblaze does it for me (3-2-1 system)

Cons:

  • costs (very little) money (backblaze is basically the cheapest provider)
  • long restore time as it would be slow to download
  • restore costs (pay per gb downloaded)
  • source
