Howdy,

I'm a fan of restic, been using it for a couple of years now. It only backs up changed files, as well as compressing and encrypting those backups to a target - where that target can be a drive, another machine running restic, or an S3 target. (There are probably a couple of other options there too).

I use the S3 target (using minio on the QNAP running TrueNas), as well as to another drive. So I can restore back to a point in time depending on how many days I leave in the respository.

It also supports multiple OS'es, so it backs up my windows, mac, pi's and linux guests.

You can also fuse mount backups, so it appears as a mount point - I havent used that (only for the lack of needing it).

Since I use docker extensively, I use docker labels + a cron script to backup individual containers (and pausing them during the backup), or to dump the database when a container is a DB.

Its saved me a couple of times...
