velero VS restic

Openshift last I looked used Velero under the covers for the functionality, which works fine in standard kubernetes. Most if not all that Openshift does is Open source.

Valero

velero is also a popular solution to for k8s backup that is 3rd party you might check out.

Logical backups using pre and post hooks thanks to this suggestion https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/velero/issues/2763 working way better than kanister blueprints.

While not discounting OP or the work in this repo (seems like a fun k8s/go project), folks might check out Velero for this purpose if they're looking to rely on this kind of export in prod: https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/velero

Hyper-V itself does not directly support backing up container-based platforms like Kubernetes clusters. To back up a Kubernetes cluster, you would typically use tools that interact with the Kubernetes API to capture the necessary data and metadata for backup purposes. Some of those tools are Velero https://velero.io/ (formerly Heptio Ark), Kasten K10, and Stash.

For Kubernetes-land, https://velero.io/ is awesome - but I haven't used it for online-database backups yet. If you're exploring, I'd checkout Velero - if you just need something to work reliably, I'd checkout Percona.

If you're looking for a backup solution for managed kubernetes, check out Velero. It is great for non-managed kube as well (but you've got other options like etcd backups)

You can also leverage https://velero.io/ to backup both cluster state and pvc state to s3

Restic - GitHub

I religiously use Google contacts. It's the simplest way to keep people contacts up to date on Android.

I archive all important documents in specific folders by subject and date. This is backed up to back blaze with restic. https://restic.net/

I use https://ente.io for pictures. I convinced my wife to use it, and she agreed to auto share her photos so I don't nag her for copies. It had simple import from Facebook and Google.

I also keep extensive journals, which really helps to tie it all together. I can basically grep for hangouts, conversations, etc.

I also separate work journal from personal, and have essentially a journal for each project. https://jodavaho.io/tags/bullet-journal.html for how.

I religiously use Google calendar for all plans, you can easily search it for past events to get dates.

I also use monicahq for some notes about things I should remember about people but the habit never stuck.

After Borg, I switched to Restic:

AFAIK, the only difference is that Restic doesn't require Restic installed on the remote server, so you can efficiently backup to things like S3 or FTP. Other than that, both are fantastic.

I'm curious, too. I know they've had some issues in the past:

On the other hand, I tested around 15,000 backups last year (multiple hourly backups, daily tests) and they all passed.

I use and recommend restic. I use it for about 60 machines on my LAN, and it's absolutely fantastic.
