How do you guys back up your server?

I have a home server that I’m using and hosting files on it. I’m worried about it breaking and loosing access to the files. So what method do you use to backup everything?

  • For my webserver, mysqldump to a secured folder, then restic backup the whole /svr folder, then rsync the restic backup to another server. Also have a system that emails me if these things don't happen daily. The log files are uploaded to a url, the log file is checked for simple errors, and if no file is uploaded in time, email.

    Of course, in my case, the url files are uploaded to - and the email server... are the same server I'm backing up... but at least if that becomes a problem, I probably only need the backups I've already made to my second server.
