For my webserver, mysqldump to a secured folder, then restic backup the whole /svr folder, then rsync the restic backup to another server. Also have a system that emails me if these things don't happen daily. The log files are uploaded to a url, the log file is checked for simple errors, and if no file is uploaded in time, email.
Of course, in my case, the url files are uploaded to - and the email server... are the same server I'm backing up... but at least if that becomes a problem, I probably only need the backups I've already made to my second server.
Zfs z2 pool . Not a perfect backup, but it covers disk failure (already lost one disk with no data loss), and accidental file deletion. I'm vulnerable to my house burning down, but overall I sleep well enough.
Compressed pg_dump rsync’ed to off-site server.
- kopia backup to 2nd disk
- kopia backup to B2 cloud
- duplicaty backup to google drive (only most important folder <1GB)
Most of the files are actually nextcloud so I get one more copy of files (not backup) on PC by syncing with nextcloud app
