Ask HN: Now that Backupsheep died, how do you do backup a Linux server?

5 pointsby guilamuover 1 year ago
I&#x27;ve been using Backupsheep for a long time before they closed shop a few weeks ago. It was incredibly reliable for database + files backups on all my servers and had a very good admin GUI.<p>I think my best bet now would be Urbackup + Percona XtraBackup for the database. What do you think? Any advice or better solution?<p>Thanks!

Simon here, founder of SnapShooter which sold to DigitalOcean this year.<p>Bilal made a good product with BackupSheep, it was released about a month after DigitalOcean. It&#x27;s sad that he has shut it down.<p>We would be more than happy to help you get setup on SnapShooter, most of the features from Backup Sheep translate to SnapShooter

I helped one of my clients swap from their &quot;bespoke&quot; solution (dodgy bash scripts and an S3 bucket) to Snapshooter which made our lives a lot easier. Looking at Backupsheep&#x27;s website it seems like it is very similar to Snapshooter, so I think that would be your best replacement.

I&#x27;ve never used it personnaly but you can take a look at duplicati (9,5k stars on github), it seems to have a nice GUI too
