[GTALUG] Data backup recommendations?

[Val Kulkov]

In my experience, Borg Backup is by far the most efficient and advanced
backup solution. Although I prefer using Borg directly, many people choose
Borgmatic [2], a Python wrapper for Borg that provides some additional
niceties like pre-backup and post-backup hooks, backup of databases like
PostgreSQL and MySQL/MariaDB and more. Very importantly, Borg enables
backups to untrusted servers and from untrusted clients using the
restricted ssh mechanism [3].

Borgmatic supports at least two hosting providers as of now [2].
Personally, I rclone my Borg backups to Amason S3.
