I have a home server that I’m using and hosting files on it. I’m worried about it breaking and loosing access to the files. So what method do you use to backup everything?

    If you use a VPS as a backup target, you can also format it with ZFS and use replication. Sending snapshots is faster than using file-level backup tool, especially with a lot of small files.

      Interesting, I have noticed it’s very slow with initial backups. So snapshot replication sends one large file? What if you want to recover individual files?
