For those of you running Unraid and backing up their data to Backblaze, how are you doing it?

I’ve been playing a bit with KopiaUI but what is the easiest and most straight forward way?

Bonus points if I can have the same “client/software/utility” backup data from non-servers (Windows, macOS and Linux) in my network to said Unraid server.

I don’t want to complicate the setup with a bunch of dependencies and things that would make the recovery process long and tedious or require in-depth knowledge to use it for the recovery process.

To recap:

Workstations/laptop > back up data with what? > Unraid

Unraid > back up data with what? > Backblaze

I'm a big fan of duplicati. You can install it on Linux, windows, (not sure about mac) and use it to send backups anywhere. Backup to your nas, to s3, smb share, whatever.

I’ve mostly stayed away from duplicati because of the “horror stories” around restore operations. Quotes because sometimes people exaggerate but other times they are legitimate concerns/bad experiences.

@lal309 @Limit I tried duplicati but now use #restic -

That's fair, we should all test our backups from time to time. I haven't had any issues over the years with it though i've never had to rely on it for a full restore.

I've generally had a positive experience with duplicati to backup unraid to backblaze. Recently had time to test my encrypted backup, and had no problem restoring it.
