[Question] How do you handle offsite backups for your setup? (lemmy.ml)

I'm particularly interested in low bandwidth solutions. My connection to the internet is pretty rough 20mbps down and 1mbps up with no option to upgrade.

That said, this isn't limited to low bandwidth solutions.

I'm planning on redoing my entire setup soon to run on Kubernetes followed by expanding the scope of what my server does (Currently plex, a sftp server and local client backups). Before i do that i need a proper offsite backup solution.

My setup is running in k8s.

I have autorestic running in a container in a pod. The container mounts the volumes from the pod, I want to have backed up. It then runs every 6 hours(easily changed via a cron expression).

The config in autorestic describes the backends(servers), that it should backup to. Currently I have 3 servers, that it is backing everything up to.

I have also added extra functionallity to autorestic, to make it create a dump of a database before the backup runs.
