I was talking about this: https://torsion.org/borgmatic/docs/how-to/backup-your-databases/

If you’re using MariaDB, use the MariaDB database hook instead of mysql_databases: as the MariaDB hook calls native MariaDB commands instead of the deprecated MySQL ones.

But I guess this is basically a mysql dump reading from stdin

Thanks pull mode is exactly what I was looking for!

Thanks for the clarification about the repositories!

If I understood correctly, I should run a cron on the VPN that dumps the DB and encrypts it. Then borg only has to get the dump and archives it.

Also what is the reason not to use the mariadb tool provided by borg? It looked interesting because of the data stream.

Thanks, indeed, restic looks interesting!

For now I don’t have much use for the deduplication as every servers are hosting different data.

One drawback I can see is the memory usage. My raspberry only has 2GB I’m not sure if this is going to be an issue. Currently the data I need to back up are around 100GB.

Checked with my old basic calculator, the answer is indeed 16 😂
