How would or do you backup your home server? I don’t have enough physical storage (for now) at home to store some backups, so I want to upload it to the cloud. Of course I want the backup to be encrypted, but I don’t want to enter the password every time by server does a backup. I am currently using borg on my PC and do it manually. How do I create a encrypted backup without entering the key manually? Do I hardcode it somewhere? Don’t really like that. I am also fine with trying other backup software.

    Duplicati, has many cloud providers as destination. Encryption. Basic backup tools functionalities. I use Onedrive family plan which has a total of 6 TB for my backups. Other solid option is rclone , it does the same even more, but is more focused on sync than backup. Also many cloud providers supported. Both are Foss

      I had constant problems with duplicati and switched to kopia with backblaze and it has been problem free, so I would tread very carefully with it. The database would work for a while and then get into a state that required a reset and would not have permitted a successful backup to be restored.

      Backrest (restic) is what I use after constant duplicati problems. Kopia is also a good option.

      Duplicati is ok with tiny backup sets, but give it multiple TB of data and it chokes and constantly has errors requiring expensive rebuilds.
