Hi Everyone

I need some help

I'm currently selfhosting some of my applications on Digital Ocean and i run a container using Portainer CE. I was wondering how you guys keep backups for the applications running on docker.

I'm currently using Digital ocean's snapshots feature but is there a better way i could use, any help on this is highly appreciated.

I use Kopia. The cli is very easy to use and I have backups scheduled nightly. I backup all external mounts and my entire Portainer directory. Has helped in a pinch to restore busted databases.

I point Kopia cli to backup to a WebDAV location I host on my NAS. For off-site backups I run daily backups of that kopia repository to Google cloud.

I'm not sure if Google cloud is the best off-site backup solution, but I did a price comparison when I first selected it and it was the best capacity for the price that I could find at the time.
