How to set up a folder backup from the server?

Question

Backup

Tell me how you can implement such a thing:
We have a server in the company where 1C and other necessary things lie. The manual asked for a way to back up some folders from the server.
Those. there is a folder on the server (for example, "Documents"), which service can be used and how to do it so that this folder is uploaded somewhere to the cloud and constantly synchronized with the cloud server. (when files were added there, they were automatically added to the server, without unnecessary actions and button presses.)

What I tried:
Google drive and Dropbox, none of them allow you to synchronize exactly the folder on the server. Only from the desktop.

Answer 1

You can set up backup with any program you like. There are many and many of them are free. Cobian, duplicati... Let it copy the already compressed data (document folders on the server compress well) into a separate folder, you can also use the user's documents. And already this folder is synchronized with cloud storage. Some programs immediately know how to throw themselves into the clouds.
YaDisk has a folder location setting .
Please note that Yandex does not really like this use case, for their part, they may change something from time to time.
What do you want to achieve?
Let's say your server is down. In this case, copies will be saved.
Suppose your employee has deleted files in a folder. After a month in the cloud, they are also deleted.
Let's assume a cryptographer. If your file history has the files you need before encryption, you're saved.
Well, the saddest part. An encryptor that found out your credentials for connecting to YaDisk ...
Better set up copying to different places at once, some of these places are offline. This will greatly increase your chances of a successful recovery.
