Hello,
First of all, a question: what is the difference between the OpenMediaVault backup (6.1.1):
- dd
- dd full disk
??
Will the image here also be reduced accordingly by the unused space?
Unfortunately, I couldn't find anything sensible on Google about dd vs dd full disk or about the reduction.
Now that I've got the OMV so far, I want everything to basically work, which I want, of course, to secure this work.
According to my Google research, the best and easiest way to back up the system and configuration is the openmediavault-backup (6.1.1) plugin. Here I would set the backup depth to 7 days. So 6 days are dug out. And stored in a shared folder called Backup.
Is there the possibility of making an intelligent backup like with “raspiBackup - Intelligent rotation strategy”?
1) Backups of the current day and the last 6 days
2) Backups of the current week and the last 3 weeks
3) Backups of the current month and the last 11 months
4) Backup of the current year and the last 2 years
Since there is no conflict between the solution and what I have in mind for the future, here is an outlook:
As a medium-term solution, I would like to save the backups (OS) and the data (shared folders) to an external hard drive using “USB backup”.
But since you have to think about it here, this solution is only good to a limited extent.
As a long-term solution, I would like to use an external server on which the backups are stored via network sharing or wireguard VPN.
