Definitely do not use the root account’s credentials. Create an app key in B2 that you only use with Duplicacy.Do this first so that when you create the app key, using the dropdown menu you can easily restrict its access to only this bucket. Only use this bucket for duplicacy backups. Set up a B2 Storage Bucket for Duplicacy # Create a B2 Bucket and App Key # I like my cluster neat and organized, with different services in their own namespaces, so I created a backups namespace by running kubectl create namespace backup. Pre-requisites # Create a Kubernetes Namespace # This allows me to easily run backups of multiple directory trees at once, and the kubernetes scheduler will automagically spread them around the cluster to the least loaded nodes. Usage #įor simplicity, I’m running my backups as kubernetes cron jobs. The image is published on docker hub, with both an Intel and and ARM7 version - the most current builds are tagged unixorn/thoth-duplicacy:armv7l and unixorn/thoth-duplicacy:x86_64. I made a docker image, thoth-duplicacy, which installs duplicacy and duplicacy-util on top of debian buster-slim, along with some helper scripts to make using it more convenient. It didn’t hurt that I know several people using it with large amounts of data who are happy with it.
This eliminates having to completely restart the backup and re-upload everything. Continues backing up where it leaves off after being interrupted and restarted.Allows multiple source directories to be backed up simultaneously to the same B2 bucket.It also seemed a little awkward to prune snapshots when I experimented with it.ĭuplicacy - I chose Duplicacy because it: Restic - Open source, which is great, but I ended up eliminating them because their deduplication wasn’t as strong as Duplicacy. They bill per-machine instead of by the amount of storage used.I suspect they’ll also abandon this market because accounts with a small number of licenses also aren’t worth their time. I currently use their CrashPlan for Small Business account for my Mac. They’ve already abandoned the home market.I took a look at CrashPlan, restic and Duplicacy.ĬrashPlan - Even though they have a decent linux client, I eliminated Crashplan because: Instead, read my article on restic backups on TrueNas instead. I wanted to ensure any data I put into my ARM k3s cluster is backed up to prevent data loss.
