@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

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?

@maybeanerd I recently set up a Raspberry Pi with a 5 TB HDD at my brothers place as a Garage S3 node complementing my homeserver. I use Garage for Kopia backups of my Mac and homeserver. I‘m going to setup another offsite node soon. Works pretty well so far. #Garage #S3 #Kopia #SelfHosting

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.

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

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.

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.
https://www.xda-developers.com/best-open-source-backup-options/
And it seems like Kopia might be a good option.Any input?

New blog post: S3 Storage At Home With Garage Part 3: In Practice
Where we will run benchmarks and set up a backup system using Kopia. This is part 3 of my garage series.

Today I want to thank the teams and communities behind
- #Forgejo [1]
- #Garage [2]
- #Kopia [3]for delivering (major) updates of their software (which if course is Open Source) that consistently JustWork™ in my experience, making the update process simple, reliable and, yes, fun! I know how hard that is and I tip my hat to all of you and many other projects that do the same.

Hm, #kopia gefällt mir nicht besonders 😑 Für den Einsatz auf allen Plattformen nutze ich seit Kurzem #Backrest. Ein endgültiges Urteil habe ich mir aber noch nicht gebildet. Unter Linux nutze ich #Vorta und #Restic direkt im Terminal.
Hab’ mir dafür ein Tool gebastelt, um mir die Befehle nicht merken zu müssen:

Neuer Blog-Artikel:
Hier mein ausführlicher Artikel zu dem sehr guten Backup-Programm KopiaUI:

(Kurzer Boost wäre sehr nett, weil der Artikel etliches an Zeit gekostet hat - muss aber nicht sein :-) ).

After two weeks of running #Kopia[1] as backup solution on my Linux and Mac machines at home, I will decommission the samba/timemachine setup I used in the past for backing up my Mac. Kopia is Open Source, fast, reliable and the built-in deduplication saves tons of space on my garage backed S3 storage[2]. And yes, I have extensively tested and verified the restore process :)

So after my all-nighter repairing my Omada Controller database and app corruption, I moved it to a container and now I back up all of my container bind mount locations with #Kopia, a handy cross-platform backup tool. And of course, it also runs in a container.

@jwildeboer I’m curious about Kopia’s server mode, wondering if it might be suitable for a “family backup manager” who is responsible for backing up Linux, Mac and Windows computers around the house.
-
TIL (Today I learned) that on #MacOS it is really easy (and fast) to create read-only filesystem snapshots with `tmutil` in a shell script so that I can make backups with #Kopia using those filesystem snapshots. Note: needs APFS as filesystem. Neat!
I updated my gist accordingly: https://codeberg.org/jwildeboer/gists/src/branch/main/2025/20251227-Kopia-Garage-Backup-Mac.md

I have an old nextcloud box that I wanted to repurpose: plug it in a friend's router and do remote daily backups.
I've been using Borg and a friend recommended Kopia. Any recommendations here?

Wer ein #snapshot artiges Backup für #Linux sucht, könnte sich #kopia ansehen.
Über Regeln sehr fein granuliert einstellbar.
Es hat mich allerdings jetzt fast eine Woche gekostet, es so zum laufen zu bringen, wie ich es mir gewünscht habe. Aber mit viel #script’en hat alles geklappt.
#deduplication und #kompression, schnell und easy.
Sehr zu empfehlen. -
