Hello there! Here’s the thing: I got some old HDD for my Debian home server, and now that I have plenty of disk space I want to keep a backup of the OS, so that if something accidentally breaks (either SW or HW) I can quickly fix it.

now the question is: which directory should I include and which should I exclude from the backup? I use docker a lot, is there any docker-specific directory that I should back up?

    I recommend Borgmatic, a declarative way to set up borg backups. I find it much nicer than a having a backup.sh script and the configuration is really straight-forward.

      This is actually very interesting! I’ll gladly look into it, thank you very much!
