How would or do you backup your home server? I don’t have enough physical storage (for now) at home to store some backups, so I want to upload it to the cloud. Of course I want the backup to be encrypted, but I don’t want to enter the password every time by server does a backup. I am currently using borg on my PC and do it manually. How do I create a encrypted backup without entering the key manually? Do I hardcode it somewhere? Don’t really like that. I am also fine with trying other backup software.
I run proxmox, and proxmox backup server in a vm. PBS backup is encrypted locally, and I upload the backup to backblaze b2 using rclone in a cron job. I store the decryption key elsewhere
It has worked ok for me. I also upload a heartbeat file, it is just a empty file with todays date (
touch heartbeat), so that I can easily check when the last upload happened
