Backing-up Single Board Computer - eviltoast

Hello everyone!

I have a small OrangePi running some small services on it (some with Docker and some without Docker).

And I’d love to know how do you backup your single-board computers.

Do you just rsync the system to a storage server ? Do you plug in a USB drive and rsync on it ? Do you save only the important data or the whole system ?

For now my SBC is not backed-up and I’d like to get a good backup solution up and running quickly! (I don’t trust SD cards to last long…)

I have access to USB drives and disks and also another big server with 20TB of storage which I can make the backup to if needed!

Thanks for your help !

    Do you have tips to save multiple location, as I also have non-docker configs to backup in /etc and /home, how do you do it ? just multiple rsync command in a sh script file with cron executing it periodically ? or is there a way to backup multiple folder with one command ?
