Sometime back, I asked this question on the r/selfhosted (Post) regarding self-hosting password managers on premise. One of the things that the people focused upon was managing backups effectively, I have summarized the intent of the post in a short form blog here if you want a TL;DR version of it.

Post that, I started exploring options of having automated off-site backups for some of the essential data from the services that I am self-hosting.

Currently, I have a solution in place (rclone + bash scripts) to do it, and it’s been working great since past 1 month. Hence, I decided to write about it and share it across if it’s something that might help them set up an automated solution for themselves as well.

Here is the blog: https://akashrajpurohit.com/blog/how-i-safeguard-essential-data-in-my-homelab-with-offsite-backup-on-cloud/

I would also love to know if folks around here have their own solutions or ways of backing up important data in their home-lab.

Have you ever had to restore from Backblaze or tested the restores to make sure they work and are being backed up correctly?
