Can you please share your backup strategies for linux? I’m curious to know what tools you use and why?How do you automate/schedule backups? Which files/folders you back up? What is your prefered hardware/cloud storage and how do you manage storage space?
Do you also backup the files externally? If not you shouldn’t consider them backed up.
I do it externally with this script
#!/bin/bash # Sample file backup-documents.sh cd ${HOME}/documents tar -cJpf /run/media/fireshell/EAGET/mybackups/documents-$(date '+%Y-%m-%d').tar.xz . sync#!/bin/bash # Sample file restore-documents.sh backup_dir="/run/media/fireshell/EAGET/mybackups/" mkdir -p ~/documents last_documents="$(ls -1t ${backup_dir}/documents-*.tar.xz | head -n1)" cd ~/documents && \ tar -xpf ${last_documents}
