What type of backup system should I setup?
·1 min
For now:
- Use the RPi, both to backup Proxmox and MacOS.
- The only concern is Proxmox backups won’t be incremental.
- Try: https://github.com/ayufan/pve-backup-server-dockerfiles/blob/master/docker-compose.yml on the Pi.
Earlier thoughts:
- I want a backup system that:
- Works for MacOS and my Proxmox home server.
- Set it and forget it.
- Shouldn’t be terribly hard to set it up.
- Can backup to Backblaze or a few other cloud services. (I don’t want something that just works with Rsync.net)
- Preferably, same technology on both places but that’s not a hard requirement.
- Auto-restic:
- Last time, I couldn’t setup a cron job on my Mac: the command couldn’t access the config file.
- Resticprofile seems like a nice alternative that generates Mac cron job as well.
- Kopia:
- Seems to be used a lot but isn’t very old. So, I worry if it is reliable.
- This time, I couldn’t get it to read data from the 2nd Mac account.
- Proxmox Backup Server is also a neat idea, if I have a separate computer, of course.

- One part of the solution is “full disk access” setting.
