We can install and configure BorgBackup with borgmatic for you. It is offered as an add-on service.

BorgBackup is a deduplicating backup program with optional compression and encryption. Your daily incremental backups can be stored in a fraction of the space and is safe whether you store it at home or on a cloud service, thanks to encryption.

Target users¶

If you host your server by us, we automatically enable server backups with our provider (Hetzner Cloud), which provides you 7 daily backups of your whole server. If you manage your server somewhere else, similar whole-server snapshot options may be available to you.

Nevertheless, it is always a good idea to have extra backups, especially at other locations (off-site, etc). With BorgBackup, it is possible to manage those backups on the remote machine of your choice.

Data and schedule for backup tasks¶

BorgBackup will back up the files for all services, and also include a database dump of the PostgreSQL database we manage for you on the server.

The backup will run based a schedule, which defaults to 4 A.M, every day.

Getting started¶

To use our BorgBackup service, you need a remote server where BorgBackup will manage backups. You might be interested in hosted, Borg-compatible solutions, such as BorgBase and rsync.net.
