ansible-role-borgbackup VS resticker

Heavy Ansible user here, so I use this Ansible role to set up Borgmatic and then send the encrypted Backup to BorgBase.com. Works reliable for a few dozen bare metal- and virtual servers and doesn't cause much load during the backup run.

If you use Ansible, try our Ansible role. It supports EPEL8 and 9. If you don't use Ansible, you can still copy the build dependencies from the `var` folder.

Our Ansible role to quickly set up backups on new servers already supports RHEL9 and Arch Linux.

The Log4J debacle just before Christmas got me thinking about our own Borg ecosystem. At BorgBase.com we already maintain a few projects, like Vorta and an Ansible role to set up Borg & Borgmatic on new servers.

We even maintain an Ansible role to set it up in a repeatable way: https://github.com/borgbase/ansible-role-borgbackup

Ansible role to setup Borg+Borgmatic on most server systems

I have been using https://github.com/djmaze/resticker but haven't tested a restore scenario yet.

I have looked up and found restic to be a good choice for the many advantages it provides (reduplication, incremental copies, encryption, free, ...). I looked also at the many projects built on it to make it easier to configure (resticker, autorestic). I already made a simple test locally for my MainPC (with docker swarm) and it seems to be fine.

it's a cli tool so you can either install it on your host, make your own scripts and automate them with cron, or you can use this docker image: https://hub.docker.com/r/mazzolino/restic/

You mean something like this?: https://github.com/djmaze/resticker/

There’s also a wrapper for restic to make management easier using yaml config (autorestic) and a well-regarded docker image (resticker)

You can check it out pretty easily; I use this docker container (available on Docker Hub) since it's documented and pretty easy, and backblaze will let you set up a free account up to 10gb.

Personally I use restic to backup Docker volumes and Duplicati for my desktop backups.

Restic to Backblaze. Affordable, incremental, encrypted, and behind-the-scenes. No web UI, per se, but I do it in a resticker container and it just works.
