VPS System Backup and Restore

1

Hello.

I am considering a way to backup and restore my VPS.
I mainly want to back up my system.
Previously, the VPS I used had a feature called snapshots, which made it easy to back up and restore the system.
However, the VPS I am currently using does not have a snapshot function, so I have to do something myself.
So I tried Restic as a test.
The backup itself worked, but I’ve lost the server, perhaps because the restore failed.
By the way, the backup of restic was done with the following command.

restic backup \
-r <repo> \
-v \
--exclude='/boot/' \
--exclude='/dev/' \
--exclude='/proc/' \
--exclude='/sys/' \
--exclude='/mnt/' \
--exclude='/run/' \
--exclude='/tmp/' \
/

And restore was done with the following command.

restic restore -r <repo> --target /

The repository is created on an external server with SSH.
If there is any good solution, could you tell me?
The environment is Ubuntu 20.04.

Best regards.

Hello.

Hmm, for me, it’s quite expensive.
I will consider it a little more, but I would like to know if there is any other way.
Thank you.

Hello.

I’m looking into the “hetzner backup box” and considering it a little.
What are the steps to restore VPS from “hetzner backup box”?

Best regards.

The “backup box” is just a storage space that you can connect to using FTP, SFTP, etc.

You will need to use another software to back up and restore data to and from the “backup box”.

Hello.

I am sorry for the late reply.
It’s not a system backup for the time being, but I solved it by backing up the necessary configuration files and the list of installed packages to another server.
Thank you very much.

Best regards.
