What is now fashionable to use for backups?

Question

Backup

Now on the server I use self-written scripts that archive the desired folder and send it to the FTP server. Perhaps there are ready-made utilities for this? You also need a backup of the MySQL database.

Answer 1

Bacula+lto

Answer 2

Now, for backups on the server, they try not to use utilities, but the built-in functionality of file systems. For example, if we take the Btrfs file system, then it allows you to make backups of the entire system at least every second, although this is of course overkill. The backup itself is done instantly, no utility can make a backup as quickly as btrfs its snapshot. Plus, unlike utilities, btrfs saves a lot of your space, since during snapshots, this file system records only a certain conditional difference, and not the entire disk. Restoring the system state from a backup also happens instantly, but of course you will need to reboot after a rollback for the changes to take effect.

Answer 3

Usually for backups they use not what is fashionable, but what works :)
Nakivo, Acronis, self-written scripts (written back in the early 2000s)
