Sorry for adding to the massive pile of backup-related question, but I could not figure out how to manage backups from existing answers…

I want to backup my VPS setup (think container-defining files, its volumes, and etc configs), but am unsure where to put it. Does keeping these in the VPS itself make sense? If so, how do I create and manage the backup?

Also, I would need a remote copy - what is the good location for this? I wish I could copy to my laptop, but obviously I cannot do that automatically. Should I pay money for a backup? I want to avoid paying lots of money just for backups. Thanks in advance!

    That’s what you just got shown: Shove the configgy bits into Git.

    You will likely have to find the configs you want to save first.

      I was hoping for a guide to capture said configs with a recommended subset. Not instructions for using git.

      So no the guides don’t help with that.

      I’ll just stick to my mkdocs repo.
