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.

Haven't used digital ocean but I run 2 Proxmox servers and 2 NAS one of each at a different location.

I backup containers and VMs which run in Proxmox to the NAS via NFS and then have a nightly script to copy the backups from there to my remote NAS. It works, haven't lost any data yet. Still thinking about a third backup in another location as well but money is a thing 🤷
