Sorry for adding to the massive pile of backup-related question, but I could not figure out how to manage backups from existing answers…
I want to backup my VPS setup (think container-defining files, its volumes, and etc configs), but am unsure where to put it. Does keeping these in the VPS itself make sense? If so, how do I create and manage the backup?
Also, I would need a remote copy - what is the good location for this? I wish I could copy to my laptop, but obviously I cannot do that automatically. Should I pay money for a backup? I want to avoid paying lots of money just for backups. Thanks in advance!
- Create git repo
- Put all config in git repo
- Create repo on codeberg
- Clone git repo to both VPS and laptop
No extra money needed
Edit: Was asking about the config targetting process for git (not how to use git) and was going to ask an AI to do some googling for me.
Please don’t use AI for simple things like this.
The Odin Project has a tutorial on Git Basics and a guide on Setting Up Git. The instructions are roughly the same whether on Github, Codeberg, etc.
Once you have the repository, it’s as simple as:
git add . git commit -m "Updated config" git push origin mainPlease don’t use AI for simple things like this.
Simple things seems like the best use of AI
I keep my server backups on a dedicated backup server.
real question though is do you back up your backup server?
Not yet.
