  • My setup is easy and reliable:

    Bash script that runs restic to backup to backblaze with a 90 day retention snapshot policy and a systemd service + timer.

    It runs everyday, everything is backedup to b2, and I don’t need to bother with it.

    Pros:

    • easy
    • quick
    • reliable
    • private (restic encrypts before sending)
    • don’t need to worry about multiple backups as backblaze does it for me (3-2-1 system)

    Cons:

    • costs (very little) money (backblaze is basically the cheapest provider)
    • long restore time as it would be slow to download
    • restore costs (pay per gb downloaded)
