Sorry for adding to the massive pile of backup-related question, but I could not figure out how to manage backups from existing answers…

I want to backup my VPS setup (think container-defining files, its volumes, and etc configs), but am unsure where to put it. Does keeping these in the VPS itself make sense? If so, how do I create and manage the backup?

Also, I would need a remote copy - what is the good location for this? I wish I could copy to my laptop, but obviously I cannot do that automatically. Should I pay money for a backup? I want to avoid paying lots of money just for backups. Thanks in advance!

    Edit: Was asking about the config targetting process for git (not how to use git) and was going to ask an AI to do some googling for me.

      Please don’t use AI for simple things like this.

      The Odin Project has a tutorial on Git Basics and a guide on Setting Up Git. The instructions are roughly the same whether on Github, Codeberg, etc.

      Once you have the repository, it’s as simple as:

      git add .
git commit -m "Updated config"
git push origin main

        Simple things seems like the best use of AI
