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.

Borgbackup, borgmatic to two backup targets: one in my home and a Hetzner Storage Box. Amongst other things, i include /var/lib/docker/volumes, covering the not-filesystem-bound mounts.

    What retention do you run?
    I'm setting up the same system, but don't know how far back I need. Currently considering 7 daily backups, so I can restore to any point within the week, and 2-3 Monthly backups in case there's an issue I miss for a real long period.
