- Comment on Should I use Restic, Borg, or Kopia for container backups? 6 months ago:
I’m using Autorestic, a wrapper for Restic that lets you specify everything in a config file. It can fire hooks before/after backups so I’ve added it to my healthchecks instance to know if backups were completed successfully.
One caveat with Restic: it relies on hostnames to work optimally (for incremental backups) so if you’re using Autorestic in a container, set the `host:` option in the config file. My backups took a few hours each night until I fixed this - now they’re less than 30 minutes.

I use it to synchronise RetroArch save states across my devices - desktop PC, Android TV, and Android handheld.
- Comment on Trouble moving a container and its data to another server 8 months ago:
I've done a couple of host migrations since using Docker for all my services.
I don't even bother with database dumps or anything like that, I copy my compose files and mapped directories, being sure to preserve permissions, and all my services come back up without any issues.
