hi peeps.

Im early on my selfhosting journey and managed to setup some things as a test in docker. the main service im looking to run is ERPNext. after a while I got it up and running so now I want to back this up including all the customization I did in the app.

where to start with this? any intuitive guide?

    Doesn’t rsync do incremental? I keep hearing about borg but not sure I want to commit to learning a new app

      Yes but rsync isn’t a “backup”.

      Spouse i inadvertently deleted a heap of stuff last month. Rsync would happily reflect that change on the remote. Borg will store the change but you can still restore from an earlier point in time.

        Right makes sense. I’ve been using rdiff-backup for that. I should compare how the two perform. Do you get the impression borg is good at getting the diffs of a lot of different file types?
