Novice homelaber here, is this just a case of apt update & upgrade or is there different commands for security and kernel updates? Also what’s your preferred backup/restore software? Thanks!
You should be reading the proposed changes before pushing yes. But regardless you can get stuck upgrading if you use only “upgrade” when dependences intentionally incompatibly change by package maintainers
I am using restic and backrest on my yunohost server and I really like it! It is really set up and forget for me. Only the uploads to backblaze b2 are still triggered manually.
Also did a full recovery from the backblaze repo (downloaded locally) without problems.
Also just now heard about Zerobyte it is a backup solution based on restic and looks very good!
I’m not the person you asked the question of. I’m a fellow novice homelaber.
I use Kopia to backup my data folders and Docker container data. Works really well. The project for this weekend is to set offsite backups to be uploaded to iDrive.

Nope it’s just apt update & upgrade. Iirc apt tells you when the kernel was updated and needs a reboot as well.
Only if you installed the package
needrestartfull-upgrade probably a better pick
Is it? Afaik that also removes incompatible packages so if you’ve installed some custom stuff that might not be the best option.

Not if you use Proxmox! One has to be careful.

restic (thanks @Xylight@lemdro.id )
backrest (restic with WebUI)
Also worth checking out restic. It’s more command line oriented and is generally stateless
I configured restic once, forget about it and saved my files because it was making backups since forever. Saved me once.
Oh, never heard about it. A quick research showed me that restic is a very viable solution. Thanks for mentioning it, I added it to my comment.
While researching, I also came across a fancy WebUI, which is mostly what non-CLI users want: backrest

Thanks just installed immich and I need a quality backup system.
I appreciate the link!
Kernel updates are usually held back and need to be selected manually. E.g. apt-get install linux-image-amd64.
I prefer rsync for private backups and employ bareos in my company for all servers.

When I update I use this:
sudo apt update && \ sudo apt upgrade -y && \ sudo apt full-upgrade -y && \ flatpak update -y 2>/dev/null; \ sudo apt autoremove -y && \ sudo apt autoclean && \ sudo journalctl --vacuum-time=7dYou can get rid of upgrade if you also use full-upgrade
