What's your backup strategy? (feddit.nl)

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.

+1 for Borg! I use Borgmatic to backup files and databases to BorgBase. It costs me $80/yr for 1TB of backups which I think is sensible. I also selfhost an instance of Healthchecks.io for monitoring.
