I've been backing up to a dedicated hard disk within the same server for all my backups in case my disks fail. And as I run more and more services, the concern of disks failures grow bigger.

I'm looking for a cheapish off-site backup solution and I'm just curious what everyone does for their 3-2-1 backup solutions.

I use restic/borg (depending on servers) and push to a bunch of S3 buckets on Backblaze. This applies to my desktop, my NAS and in general my non-Kubernetes data.

For Kubernetes I wrote a small tool that...well does the same for PVCs. Packs up the data with restic (soon I hope to migrate to rustic, once the library gets polished) and pushes to Backblaze.

To give an idea of the pricing, for 730GB, with daily backups or more, I pay approximately $5 a month.

Restic is fantastic. It's just one binary, has support for various cloud services (including Backblaze which I use as well), snapshots which can be mounted with FUSE. It's really quite useful. Borg I believe is similar?

Either way, I feel like today there is no reason to use awkward rsync solutions when better tools are out that have proven themselves.

Yeah, borg is very very similar, at least in the context I use it! I agree with the praise of restic, very solid tool. It's always possible to use rsync...but to sync restic repos!
