Been a while since I blogged, so it's time for the latest installment in "Edd massively over-complicates things with SSH certificates" This time, a post about how I got rid of the need to create a new sub account on my #Hetzner Storage Box every time I wanted to create a new VM and back it up with #Borg. Definitely easier ways to have achieved it, but it shows of the versatility of ssh certificates, and #StepCA that's powering them in my home lab.

Thinking about setting up a home #borg server on an unused #RaspberyPi 4.

Questions for the #HiveMind:

• How much RAM does a borg server need to manage about 3TB of backups?
• How big of a USB disk do I need for the / partition for RasbperryPi OS with no GUI?
• Does borg deduplicate files between users' backups, or only within a single user's backups?

Today is #WorldBackupDay! Best way to celebrate?

By backing up your precious data, of course. 🫵

Here’s how to create secure, reliable remote #backups of your Nextcloud using #Borg: 👇 https://nextcloud.com/blog/how-to-back-up-restore-nextcloud-remotely-using-borg/

#homelab #sysadmin

for #selfhosting, it will be enough,i'm confident that my service can endure a powercut, so snapshot will be fine.

i haven't figured out how i will manage off-site backup, maybe export a tar from borg ? or rsync the repo even if it's not advised.
