I just got my home server up and running and was wondering what you guys recommend for backups. I figure it will probably be worth having backups on cloud servers tjay are external, are there any good services yall use for that?

      I hate to ask the scary question, but have you tried to restore your backups before? I used Duplicati and discovered that none of my backups were usable and ended up switching to Duplicacy.

        It works just fine for me, but I’ve heared scary storries so now Im using:

        1. Kopia to backblaze b2 (all data)
        2. Kopia to local disk (all data)
        3. Duplicati to google drive (only 1 folder)

        How would one realistically go about testing their backup? Do you need a bunch of empty drives?
