I just lost situational (situGUInal?) awareness and accidentally deleted two entire photo albums from my phone gallery thinking they were just two images. And #Syncthing replicated the deletion to all my computers. But, happy ending, not only do I take regular #BorgBackup backups, I also use #btrbk so recovered everything via the snapshots on the laptop within 60 seconds, and of course Syncthing copied them back to the phone immediately.
Check your backups.

Thinking about setting up a home #borg server on an unused #RaspberyPi 4.
Questions for the #HiveMind:
- How much RAM does a borg server need to manage about 3TB of backups?
- How big of a USB disk do I need for the / partition for RasbperryPi OS with no GUI?
- Does borg deduplicate files between users' backups, or only within a single user's backups?

@ironicbadger, borgbackup backup of all my servers in my home and on the Internet to rsync.net which is then rsync’ed down to my main home server running #ZFS. All Linux computers run ZFS, make backups using #sanoid and send to that server using #syncoid. I’m planning to set up a personal remote backup at my in-laws’ place which provides a ZFS send target over #Tailscale

Getting Borg backups to work on Nextcloud without an intermediary step was way more painful than it should have been and largely came down either a missing step in the documentation or a bug. I'll file a bug later and report back but in the meantime if you're new to #nextcloud and pulling your hair out because your remote #borgbackup won't work, the fix is fairly simple. Once you create the remote borg repo you need to copy the config file from the borg repository to the data directory of your nextcloud-aio container. So the steps look like this:
export BORG_REPO=ssh://[email protected]/path/to/repo
export BORG_PASSPHRASE=whatever you like
borg init -e repokey-blake2
cp /path/to/repo/config /var/lib/docker/volumes/nextcloud_aio_mastercontainer/_data/data/borg.config
chown www-data:www-data /var/lib/docker/volumes/nextcloud_aio_mastercontainer/_data/data/borg.config
chmod 0770 /var/lib/docker/volumes/nextcloud_aio_mastercontainer/_data/data/borg.config
So following above, you're creating your repo on host zzz.zzz.zzz.zzz (replace this with the IP address of the target) and then once that's done you're copying the config file that gets created in the borg repo into the data directory for the Nextcloud Master Container. It looks like this maybe worked on older versions so my guess is this is a bug but anyway, there you go, this should fix the issue with your backups not working. They'll hopefully fix this at a later date.

Now I'm thinking about a new strategy:
- stop service
- make #btrfs snapshot (seconds at max)
- restart service
- run #borgBackup from snapshot, but via #bubbleWrap so it sees it as the original path and inodes for consistency&performance!
- run as many borg backups as desired to any remote, even in parallel, as the service is running againThoughs?

Ok, thanks to @borgmatic I have a backup that is running and sending data to a repurposed backup drive that used to be formatted to my old backup scheme and is now fully assimilated to the borg.
I'm gonna run it for a few weeks, then convert my other hard drive that I swap between... and once those have run for a month or two I'll swap one of them to my offsite location and convert my current offsite drive. Slow, steady, and with a fallback at all times!
-
#borgmatic friends. I have several backup drives that I rotate through. If I list each of their mount points in the borgmatic config, and the drive isn't mounted so the path doesn't exist, will borgmatic error out, or continue with the additionally listed destinations?
ideally It'd just update whatever drives I have mounted, and skip over whatever ones I don't.

@mandrasch Ich denke digitale Souveränität kann nicht bedeuten, dass jeder ein NAS mit Nextcloud zu Hause hat. Das ist nicht resourcenschonenend und schwer abzusichern.
Scchau dir @netcup an. Ich empfehle eine ARM VM mit #Nextcloud AIO mit #Borgbackup zu #Hertzner #StorageBox.
Wenn du dich gut auskennst, nimm als OS #CoreOS und #Podman Quadlets for Nextcloud.

Wow.
Update für #Proxmox durchgeführt, für vier VMs und einen Container.
Vorher noch brav für alle VMs ein vollständiges Backup durchgeführt. Eine externe Festplatten eingerichtet und dort zusätzlich ein #Borgbackup für die #Nextcloud Daten erstellt.So weit so produktiv für einen Sonntag.
Jetzt müsste ich nur noch eine #nfs Freigabe von meinen Clouddaten zu meinen Laptop und von einem Ordner in der Cloud zu meinen #Emby Server.
Dumm nur, dass nfs für mich sowas wie der Endgegner ist.
Habs einmal geschafft.
Hatte aber wahrscheinlich was mit Glück zu tun gehabt 🙇Ich verschiebs auf die Feiertage
Dann kann ich auch direkt meinen alten Server als Proxmox Backup Server ausprobieren.

💾 From Duplicity to Borg — a backup journey
After more than a decade with Duplicity, I finally switched to BorgBackup — and wow, that difference.
📂 Source data: 719 GB in my /home
📦 Packed size: 419 GB
📉 Actual storage: 390 GB after compressionThat’s more than a 45% reduction, and the upload to remote storage is much faster now.
For someone who handles geospatial and scientific data daily, this is huge.It’s not just about saving space — it’s about making the workflow lighter, faster, and more sustainable.
🧠 Curious — what backup tools do you trust most?
