Hi, this is basically a question, what you guys prefer and do. I have a Linux destkop and recently I decided to buy a raspberry pi 4 (great device) and already after a couple days I do not know how I lived without it. So why Raspberrypi. In the past I decided not to do backups on purpose. I decided that my data on my local Computer is not important and to store my important stuff in a nextcloud I host for myself and do backups of that. And for a long period of time I was just fine with it. Now i attached a 4 tb drive to my pi and I decided what the heck, why not doing backups now. So now I am thinking. How should I approach backups. On windows it does magically backups and remind me when they didnt run for a while. I like that attitude. On linux with all that decision freedom it can be good and bad cause you have to think about things :D (SKIP THIS IF U DONT WANT TO READ TOO MUCH) ;) So I could do the backup on logout for example but I am not sure if that is not annoying so I'd like to have your opinion. Oh and yeah. I like to turn off my computer at night. So a backup running in night is not really an option unless I do wake on lan and run backup and then turn off. But right now I have dual boot and Windows on default (for games, shame on me) and I might switch cause first Gaming on Linux is really becoming rly good and second I could buy second GPU for my Linux and then forward my GPU to a windows VM running my games in 3d... Especially after buying Ryzen 3900X (that a monster of cpu) an Whoever read till the end Im thankful and ready to hear your opinion.
I use Bacula which runs the backups on a schedule, but you can also trigger them with scripting if you want them done during the day.
Cheers Konstantin
