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?
Kopia to Backblaze B2 is what I generally use for off-site backups of my devices. Borg’s another good option to look at, but not as friction-less in my experience. There are a couple of additional features that are available in Kopia that are nice to have and are not in Borg (i.e. error correction, file de-duplication) from what I recall.
edit: borg does do de-duplication
