On Mastodon, you see […]

I wrote a tool to automate this. I point it to DB and folders I want backed up, it automatically takes backups, encrypts and uploads to R2, and verifies it both automatically and on demand. Consider using a backup SaaS if you want a hassle free experience, there are a lot of moving parts to […]
