How long do you keep your backups? (lemmy.zip)

Right now I'm creating a nightly restic snapshot of my server on borgbase and on some spare drives, and keeping the snapshots forever. There's a ton of daily churn in my data though, between databases and logs and other files that don't constitute 'real data' but might be needed to restore the app.

I did mean to ask, why restic into Borg instead of just Borg?

on the logs thing that's fair enough, most of the stuff I use has a clear "logs" folder I can exclude, and I checked what the backup contains Vs what the container data folder has before calling it a day

    I'm not doing any sort of backup conversion. Borgbase is a website that focuses on hosting borg backups, but they also natively support restic. I chose restic out of convenience for my local backups because it came preinstalled on truenas and figured it made sense to use the same for my cloud backups.
