Duplicati gets some love

I was just listening to episode on backups. A solution I really like is Duplicati. Duplicati is a tool that runs on localhost as a webapp. it just acts a front end and you bring a backend and it supports everything from local drives to S3.

It runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux, The software lets you configure different backup schedules using different retention polices and backends. The setup I like is to have a dedicated drive for local backups and use digitalocean spaces for offsite backups.

The only downside is that it has to run in docker or do some tom foolery to get it work on a headless server which I have linked below.

duplicati docker: https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/duplicati/
linux server install: https://forum.duplicati.com/t/installing-duplicati-on-ubunutu-linux/743

Something else to consider for backups is the ability to get a physical device shipped to you services like I drive and the backblaze user plan will ship you a drive rather than saturate your bandwidth downloading all your data in the event of a massive failure

Thanks for all the great content
