Hey all, i would like to get some feedback on my backup strategy.
I have a debian webserver with a ZFS pool running nextcloud aio, immich and jellyfin. Thinking about adding other services as well but nextcloud and immich are the most important ones. The docker volumes of these services point of course to the zfs pool. My backup strategy would now be to use the internal backup solutions for nextcloud and immich to backup their databases, then stop the docker containers and do a borg backup of the zfs pool. The backups would be stored an extern hard drive (I want to expand on this but for now this is all I can afford). is this a viable approach or do i miss something? Could there be problems in case of a backup with the databases etc? The docker compose files are also stored on another machines together with my server documentation.
If you don’t have off site backups then anything that destroys your entire site (fire, flood, earthquake) destroys all of your data.
yes this is supposed to be an off site backup. I want to backup everything with this on an external drive (later more) and keep the drive first in another room. If i can later afford more drives i want to store on at a friends place
