Back up volume?

[ekevu123]

Since Cloudron doesn't backup volumes, what is the best solution to handle that? I have about 250 GB (potentially growing) that I would like to have in another location.

I am assuming I would write a script with a cron job to back up regularly to a destination of my choice and have it run independently of Cloudron?

@ekevu123 yes, using rclone+cron setup independent of Cloudron is the way to go. Your server provider might also provide volume backups/snapshots.

I am with Vultr and they don't.

And do you have any idea where to sync this to? Would the usual backup provider work such as Backblaze?

@ekevu123 instead of rclone, use something like restic. It's a single binary and you can setup a restic repo in something like Backblaze.
