I just got my home server up and running and was wondering what you guys recommend for backups. I figure it will probably be worth having backups on cloud servers tjay are external, are there any good services yall use for that?

Duplicati, to a friend’s home server who lives in another town.
I hate to ask the scary question, but have you tried to restore your backups before? I used Duplicati and discovered that none of my backups were usable and ended up switching to Duplicacy.
+1 for Duplicacy. It just works, truly does. Duplicati on the other hand seems to work, but has a tendency to fail on restore, just as you described.
An important question though.
I have, when I first set it up, and again once when I needed to.
It works just fine for me, but I’ve heared scary storries so now Im using:
How would one realistically go about testing their backup? Do you need a bunch of empty drives?
You don’t need to do full restores, spot check random files.
This is why I switched to restic.
