I recently implemented a backup workflow for me. I heavily use restic for desktop backup and for a full system backup of my local server. It works amazingly good. I always have a versioned backup without a lot of redundant data. It is fast, encrypted and compressed.

But I wondered, how do you guys do your backups? What software do you use? How often do you do them and what workflow do you use for it?

    only drawback is that it doesn’t create differential backups

    This is a big drawback because even if you don’t need to keep old versions of files, you could be replicating silent disk corruption to your backup.

      It’s not a drawback because rsync has supported incremental versioned backups for over a decade, you just have to use the flag and add a couple lines of code around it for management.
