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?

    only drawback is that it doesn’t create differential backups

    This is a big drawback because even if you don’t need to keep old versions of files, you could be replicating silent disk corruption to your backup.
