I recently implemented a backup workflow for me. I heavily use restic for desktop backup and for a full system backup of my local server. It works amazingly good. I always have a versioned backup without a lot of redundant data. It is fast, encrypted and compressed.
But I wondered, how do you guys do your backups? What software do you use? How often do you do them and what workflow do you use for it?
The restore process takes forever and sometimes fails. Last time I was forced to try every daily backup to several days before last backup to find one that could actually be restored. I have switched to borg (using Pika Backup for desktop and Borgmatic for servers). No restores have failed since.
Thanks for your feedback, maybe I should look into switching
