  1. @thoralf @jwildeboer @homelab I‘m running a two node cluster: a local node is running on my home server and the second one is just a spare Raspberry Pi 4 with a 5 TB HDD which I placed at my brother’s home. I’m using the “cluster” as a backup target for Kopia, which works pretty fine, although there’s just a 15 MBit connection between the nodes. I’m thinking about a third node to increase redundancy. One catch: backups are slower than usually, but as they are incremental it’s ok. #Kopia #Garage

  6. My backup includes the #HomeAssistant DB.

    On the one hand, I don't want to lose it in case of an accident - it contains a lot of state, history, and configuration.

    On the other, it's the largest daily churn and not really suitable to incremental backup.

    Has anyone build better backup/restore for #SQLite, perhaps with #kopia?

  11. Another update from several months later: #kopia "just works" - it hasn't required any maintenance from me once I got it working on Windows and Linux boxes.

    Regarding VSS: I found a different non-CLI hack that held me over until they released an official fix.

    I'm not a huge fan of all these backup solutions running as userland system tray apps in Windows, versus OS service backends with user UI frontends, but I have to admit that it works fine on a single-user box.

  16. I've set up #velero and #seaweedfs (as the #s3 storage) and yet backups of my pvcs are failing :( it seems that only the RWO vols are failing? but as far as im aware, velero/#kopia shdnt care/differentiate if it's RWO or not? any clue? underlying storage is #longhorn

  21. I hate #backups so much. You either have the really mighty cli tools (borg, restic, ...) that are so verbose that even connecting to a remote storage is hard, of you are not trained with terminals. Or you can get the bad commercial ones that have a super easy GUI but offer only their own propietary cloud as storage location.

    I currently use #kopia and it's certainly in category 1. Even if they try very hard with their GUI, they are nowhere near.

  23. Don't use #kopia. Instantly stopped my migration to it. For S3 it works fine on my data set but with SFTP, it reproducibly corrupts the repo when copying certain files and shoots itself afterwards. When restarting, it refuses to reconnect to the broken repo and terminates

  32. @atrapavistas I'd go with #kopia .This includes encryption, so no need to have #veracrypt on the external disk additionally.
    kopia.io/

    Maybe not straight forward, but a great tool function wise.

  35. I'm looking at how best to teach my child about backups on their computer.

    Initially I want to teach something simple, an external hard drive, and perhaps a version controlled backup system.

    Unfortunately this need to be on Windows, but I'd prefer an open source solution.

    I've looked at e.g.
    xda-developers.com/best-open-s
    And it seems like Kopia might be a good option.

    Any input?
