docker-icloudpd VS arq_restore

I run this as a container in my nas (unraid).

It’s been great for backing up for backing up photos and videos. Haven’t tried any other files though.

I followed this instructions to ssh into my synology nas and install the package and download all my photos https://www.reddit.com/r/synology/comments/10hw71g/comment/j5f8bd8/ If you want to use docker it should be very similar. There is also a docker container on github that a lot of people use https://github.com/boredazfcuk/docker-icloudpd

iCloudPD Docker Container: https://github.com/boredazfcuk/docker-icloudpd

You could check out https://github.com/boredazfcuk/docker-icloudpd to download iCloud Photos to a local disk.

I intend to use iCloudPhotosDownloader to backup approximately 5 family member's photo libraries. If anyone has advice on the best way to do this and incorporate it with my other photo archives, that'd be great!

And packaged as a docker container to run daily, weekly, or monthly backups. https://github.com/boredazfcuk/docker-icloudpd

There's also Arq Backup which can backup to OneDrive so if you have less than 1TB to backup you might not need to pay anything.

I use Arq Premium backup services They supply the backup software and the cloud storage

People who want something similar may want to look at Arq [1]. Similar to restic, it provides incremental encrypted backups to most cloud providers (or a machine with SSH). But it is a Mac app, making it easy to configure and maintain. I never had issues with data corruption so far.

Disclaimer: I am not affiliated with them, just a happy user for 9 years.

Sending it to the NAS should create a copy automatically to BOTH an online server (I was thinking dropbox, but the space might be too limited. Maybe AWS? I've used https://www.arqbackup.com/ on my computer before so something similar would be great) and a second drive (so I guess I'm looking at a 2-drive NAS that I can setup as master-slave).

For actual off-site backups, using something like https://www.backblaze.com or use https://www.arqbackup.com and your own choice cloud storage provider.

Curious too. On the Mac side, I feel like I mostly hear about Backblaze for cloud backups, but I do like Arq for pushing to any of the typical cloud storage options.

Have a look at Arq backup https://www.arqbackup.com/ It might meet your requirements

Take a look at Arq Backup - not identical, but it's E2EE.

You could try this: https://www.arqbackup.com/ , it supports B2 I believe.

Regarding Arq backup: if you are worried about using a proprietary (enrypted) and closed-source backup format in case the company were to go under, they have an open source command-line restore tool:

I've been using Arq for years, but I need to look into the "Glacier Deep Archive" format which is about 1/20th the cost of the fastest storage class.
