What type of backup system should I setup?

·1 min

For now:

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.
  • Checkout Veaam.
  • Unsolved problems on my Mac:
    • How to get the tool to read data from the other user account on my Mac?
      • One part of the solution is “full disk access” setting.
