🏠 Homelab Backup Evolution! 🏠

Following the "3-2-1 is the minimum" rule, I've expanded my VPS container backup strategy:

✅ Hetzner Cloud (Borg) → Offsite long-term storage
✅ Synology NAS (rsync) → Local fast recovery

The new setup does nightly automated syncs of all /opt/containers/ data to my Synology - with deduplication and all the bells and whistles! 📦

Particularly clever: hardlinks for space-efficient snapshots and morning email reports. Now I know right with my coffee ☕ whether all backups ran cleanly.

Lesson learned: Cloud-only is good, but having a local NAS mirror for quick restores is pure gold! 💪

How do you solve this in your setups? Also multi-tier or everything to cloud?

For secure data backup, here’s how to do the 3-2-1 rule right

"The venerable 3-2-1 rule for backing up data remains a tried-and-true method for ensuring the integrity of copied data that is essential to disaster recovery efforts, but it has to be done properly."
