I just started getting into self hosting using docker compose and I wonder about possible backup solutions. I only have to safe my docker config so far, but I want host files as well. What software and hardware are you using for backup?

I've been using Restic for a while, and it's backing up to a Hetzner storage box (1TB).

Restic supports encryption, compression, deduplication, and can forget old backups in a spread out timeline (configurable; e.g. save one yearly, three monthly and 7 daily).

On top of this I also use healthchecks.io to make sure all backups are working.
