I use a combination of backup routines:
1. The server is backed up every day as an image which includes the OS and appli
cations (e.g. sbbs) using Active Backup for Business by Synology (using their d
efault retention policy = keep the latest of 7 days, 4 weeks, 12 months, 3 years
).
2. I rsync the whole /sbbs directory to another server in another country every
day.
3. I use tar with xz to copy sbbs minus data/dirs/ to same server above every da
y retaining the last 30 days.
Probably an overkill, but you can never have enough backups in my view :)
