Backup Postgresql Docker
I used to be a huge fan of https://github.com/backup/backup, but unfortunately it doesn't get updates. Still works though. I ran hundreds of gigs each night through that tool. There's a golang version re-write that is limited on the features - https://github.com/huacnlee/gobackup.

Does anyone use zbackup to compress your backups?
I've been doing semi-regular backups with mintbackup, but it's gotten to the point where my backups are filling up the drive even when I gzip them individually. Because these backups contain a bunch of the same files over and over again, I looked for a way to de-duplicate the backups and I landed on zbackup. It looks like it does what I want and my tests are promising, but I wanted to know if there were any caveats or if there are any better solutions out there.

How do you guys backup your linux machines to a NAS?
I use zbackup which is quite similar in concept to Borg (doesn't offer mountable images tho) with cron jobs such as the bash script below which backs up all the root folders except for selected things like /dev

Any good software to manage automatic hard drive backups?
I use zbackup ("globally-deduplicating backup tool, based on the ideas found in rsync") from a cron job which saves more space than just using links (ie it can recognise moved files, renamed files, and files that are only partially edited).
What are some alternatives?
TimeShift - System restore tool for Linux. Creates filesystem snapshots using rsync+hardlinks, or BTRFS snapshots. Supports scheduled snapshots, multiple backup levels, and exclude filters. Snapshots can be restored while system is running or from Live CD/USB.
BorgBackup - Deduplicating archiver with compression and authenticated encryption.
Kup Backup System - A backup scheduler for KDE's Plasma desktop
restic - Fast, secure, efficient backup program
Rsnapshot - a tool for backing up your data using rsync (if you want to get help, use https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/rsnapshot-discuss)
Duplicity - Unnoficial fork of Duplicity - Bandwidth Efficient Encrypted Backup
Dpl - Dpl (dee-pee-ell) is a deploy tool made for continuous deployment.
Bup - Very efficient backup system based on the git packfile format, providing fast incremental saves and global deduplication (among and within files, including virtual machine images). Please post problems or patches to the mailing list for discussion (see the end of the README below).
