As the title says, i recently printed a nice case for my RPi3 and HDD that intend to run as an offsite backup machine.
Looking for recommendations on what backup service to run. I want to backup my Nextcloud and a “changes only” backup/cloning solution would be optimal but i have yet to find one.
I’m interested to know why more people aren’t recommending kopia, it seemed like the obvious choice when I evaluated them but perhaps I was just wrong?
Duplicacy is a great solution, well worth the cheap price. It can do changes only over many different protocols.
I also would recommend setting up something like Uptime-Kuma on it, and also an instance of it home. This way you have an external monitor for your own home network, but also a monitor for your backups! Both Duplicacy and Uptime-Kuma can run on docker.
not related to backup solution, but this is a great time to get some home monitoring sorted! put prometheus on it, run prometheus at home too, and have them monitor each other… great way to know why/when things aren’t working in general, but adds another level of confidence that your data are nice and safe

Can you share the link for that case?
I remixed it from another case, ill see if i can upload it somewhere tomorrow.

I run Dietpi on 3 PIs, one is a remote backup that is wireguarded into my network and my server runs BorgBackup to it
Syncthing! Although I don’t use it to create incremental backups, It just syncs folders between computers (and my phone).
I use rsnapshot
