I recently implemented a backup workflow for me. I heavily use restic for desktop backup and for a full system backup of my local server. It works amazingly good. I always have a versioned backup without a lot of redundant data. It is fast, encrypted and compressed.
But I wondered, how do you guys do your backups? What software do you use? How often do you do them and what workflow do you use for it?
There’s nothing saved on my system I couldn’t afford to lose. All my work stuff is saved in Google Drive for better or worse. I have a few small files in a personal Proton Drive that I backup manually. I wipe my own system a few times a year and I rarely ever save anything first. Honestly very refreshing to live your life like that. Other than my cat, pretty much all my possessions could disappear tomorrow and I’d get over it pretty quickly.
