How do I back up all of the important data in my life?
This comes two major areas - data collected & generated by my infrastructure.
Anything I produce as I live my life, like documents and photos.
Generic system backups are also important - linux backups
- Borg is the primary mechanism for collecting various bits & bobs.
- It sends stuff to my Brickyard, which is running borg to manage the various backup repositories.
- Vorta is a cross-platform (MacOS & Linux) graphical client to borg, using Gtk and shelling out to the program.
- Borgmatic is a convenience wrapper around calling borg with it’s variety of command line parameters. This is used primarily on my Servers .
