I use my self hosted matrix server and the signal bridge, that way I don't have to do file backups. I found this to be more reliable and I also have the whatsapp bridge on there for people that I could not convince yet to use signal or matrix. Then I do daily dumps of the matrix postgres db and sync them to my backup space (encrypted of course)
Same here. And the real benefit... One place to aggregate all my chats. Discord, slack, telegram, twitter, linkedin, etc... Just download on app on my phone and connect to my matrix server.
But my backup is just LXC containers on proxmox backing up to a PBS instance. Literally 2 button restore to any snapshot from the past year (2 backups a day, morning and evening)
Oh wow that sounds very convenient! I'll look into that... one day. Maybe. But I'd like to!
