I see many posts asking about what other lemmings are hosting, but I’m curious about your backups.

I’m using duplicity myself, but I’m considering switching to borgbackup when 2.0 is stable. I’ve had some problems with duplicity. Mainly the initial sync took incredibly long and once a few directories got corrupted (could not get decrypted by gpg anymore).

I run a daily incremental backup and send the encrypted diffs to a cloud storage box. I also use SyncThing to share some files between my phone and other devices, so those get picked up by duplicity on those devices.

    Eager to nurture more pet projects, I wrote a python package to handle uncommon backups, derived from this this, I have various python scripts that I run periodically to copy things like:

    • Photos/files from my phone
    • Git repos
    • Youtube playlists
    • Conversations with chatGPT
    • Notion databases
    • Files from FTP servers
    • Pipy/npm packages

    And of course, files/directories from my computer. This can be configured to copy things to one or various drives, and in the future I would like to add some encryption mechanism for sensitive data. On top of this I share some files across computers using mega, but I should consider switching to syncthing
