Hi Everyone

I need some help

I'm currently selfhosting some of my applications on Digital Ocean and i run a container using Portainer CE. I was wondering how you guys keep backups for the applications running on docker.

I'm currently using Digital ocean's snapshots feature but is there a better way i could use, any help on this is highly appreciated.

Proxmox Backup Server (PBS) snapshotting all my VM's / LXC's.

External VPS' and anything that can't run PBS-Client I am rsync'ing important data into my home network first, then doing a file based backup of that data to PBS via PBS-Client tool. All this is automated through cron jobs.

Those backups then get sync'd to a 2nd datastore for a bit of redundancy.
