Hello everyone,
In a day or two, I am getting a motherboard with an N100 integrated CPU as a replacement to the Raspberry Pi 4 (2 GB Model). I want to run Jellyfin, the *arr stack and Immich on it. However, I have a lot of photos(for Immich) and movies(for Jellyfin) (in total about 400 GB) that I want to back up, just in case something happens. I have two 1TB drives, one will have the original files, and the second will be my boot drive and have the backup files.
How can I do that? Just copy the files? Do I need to compress them first? What tools do I need to use, and how would you do it?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: I forgot to mention that I would prefer the backups to be local.
Restic and borg are both sorta considered ‘standard’ for doing incremental backups beyond filesystem snapshotting.
I use restic and it automatically handles stuff like snapshotting, compression, deduplication, and encryption for you.
For automated backups defiantly. For a one time use I often use just rsync. It is the simplest to quickly use.
I do find rclone to be a bit more comprehensible for that purpose, rsync always makes me feel like I’m in https://xkcd.com/1168/
