What do you all use for backup?
Now I have things set up how I like, I was going to image the sd card. However having some sort of automatic backup solution would be handy. I'm not sure yet what to use, maybe something simple like a usb disk drive.
For my laptop I have DejaDup for offsite user data, and timeshift for the system, but that's possibly a bit heavy duty for a Pi
Thanks for any thoughts

I rsync the Pi to my desktop, and that gets backed up to a 1TB USB drive. This has the advantage that the Pi is formatted for F2FS, whereas the desktop is ext4, and I use sys-arch/dump to back that up (and it won't handle anything but ext.) To be honest, I hardly ever remember to back the Pi up. It just sits there quietly running 24x7x52 as my print server. _________________ Greybeard |

Second for rsync.
Also, every month I run dd+gzip (and when I am doing big changes.)
so I can recover with ease, just in case. |
