I just got my home server up and running and was wondering what you guys recommend for backups. I figure it will probably be worth having backups on cloud servers tjay are external, are there any good services yall use for that?

      I second restic. Have been using it for a year now and have been generally very happy. Actually had to use it in a couple occasions to restore directory content and even recover a complete workstation drive. I have had relatively easy success in both scenarios.

        I know Restic before Kopia and made a set of systemd units to run Restic backups on my home server and office workstation (both online 24/7).

        Kopia seems much nicer for a regular user, so I use it on my and family laptops. I used to use Duplicati there, but that project seems dead.

      Restic and then rclone to backblaze? Or is there a way to restic directly to backblaze?

        I do prefer having a local copy of my backups (and therefore i use rclone), but afaik restic does support b2 directly…
