I use a series of scripts to make daily Borg backups to a local repository: https://github.com/gchamon/borg-automated-backups

Currently the local folder is a samba mount so it's off-site.

The only tip I'd have for people using Borg is to verify your backups frequently. It can get corrupted without much warning. Also if you want quick and somewhat easy monitoring of backups being created you can use webmin to watch for the modifications in the backup folder and send an email if there isn't a backup being sent in a while. Similarly, you can regularly scan the Borg repo and send email in case of failures for manual investigation.

This is low tech, at least lower tech than elastic stack or promstack, but it gets the job done.

i've had positive experience with borgmatic which is available in debian repos.

Neat! I'll take a look, thanks!
