Après avoir testé rapidement les deux offres de #sauvegarde #borgbackup « grand public » les moins chères du marché que j’ai trouvées, je dirais pour faire court :
- #Hetzner : moins cher/To, et permet une meilleure granularité de configuration.
- #Borgbase : un peu plus cher/To, mais : installation et configuration bien plus faciles et rapides, avec des petites fonctions cools, telles que les alertes mail en cas d’absence de sauvegarde automatiques pendant un temps choisi.

Vacation project started: migrating my Nextcloud AIO from an aging Synology NAS, where the outdated software is becoming more and more of an issue, to a refurbished ThinkCentre.

This is probably the most exciting moment: will the restore finish successfully from my remote Borg backup? Not that I have any doubts, but staring at a screen, knowing it will take some time, is still somehow thrilling. 🤞

Ah. J’ai enfin réussi à faire fonctionner @borgbackup avec le bucket S3 de @nextinpact :
1. installer @borgmatic avec pip dans un virtualenv pour avoir la dernière version
2. installer #BorgBackup avec pip aussi, dans le même virtualenv, mais sans oublier les dépendances s3 : 
pip install 'borgbackup[s3]==2.0.0b20'

Et voilà, ça passe. C’est bête, mais j’ai mis du temps à penser à « doit y avoir une dépendance qui manque ».

💾 From Duplicity to Borg — a backup journey

After more than a decade with Duplicity, I finally switched to BorgBackup — and wow, that difference.

📂 Source data: 719 GB in my /home
📦 Packed size: 419 GB
📉 Actual storage: 390 GB after compression

That’s more than a 45% reduction, and the upload to remote storage is much faster now.
For someone who handles geospatial and scientific data daily, this is huge.

It’s not just about saving space — it’s about making the workflow lighter, faster, and more sustainable.

🧠 Curious — what backup tools do you trust most?

2/3 Topics #EU_OS needs help with:

1) What is the best way to backup user data for Linux EU OS users? https://gitlab.com/eu-os/eu-os.gitlab.io/-/issues/46 #borgbackup #btrfsbk #btrfs#nextcloud

2) How can unattended deployment with #foreman look like during pilot stage (thus without reconfiguring the network/DHCP yet)? https://gitlab.com/eu-os/eu-os.gitlab.io/-/issues/39 #foreman

3) How can a modern VPN provide extra security for people in home offices or on business trips? https://gitlab.com/eu-os/eu-os.gitlab.io/-/issues/47 #tailscale #headscale #rosenpass #wireguard #openvpn
