To know the backup scope, you can sum up all the apps listed there + email data + box data. Then you would have to multiple that by the number of backups which are stored (eg. once every day for 1 week or so) This would be the maximum of storage required using the tarball method. For rsync, it would be much less since it would do incremental backups.

@jdaviescoates said in Who else is hosting their Cloudron server on Hetzner Cloud? How best to do backups on Hetzner?: use a Volume instead! it's often the option I choose

@d19dotca That is strange, we will do a bit more testing here (I think atleast one thing to help us narrow this down is you use encrypted backups)

@adrw Thanks! You can join our chat if you need any help.

As a first attempt, you could try to restart the box process with systemctl restart box Also maybe look at the system logs, in case there are any hints for errors.

Restic would be really great. For my non-Cloudron services, I use this Docker image: https://github.com/ViViDboarder/docker-restic-cron. It wouldn't make sense to take that as is, but it could be a good example of basic Restic functionality for something like Cloudron.
