I rsync my bind mounts to another partition that takes daily snapshots. Everything is pretty stable state (no heavy write intensive db. My compose files are all in GitHub, so my data and configs are all backed up.
If I were running a business, I would absolutely do proper db-backups. In my case, most of my systems pretty simple (a base config), I can survive DB corruption. That being said, I’ve done mongo db and sqlite recoveries from the rsync’s with no issues. I do have backups of my freshrss feeds and config that gets backed up to github as an artifact. Same with my wireguard config.

Only rsync or do you stop db-containers before copying files? Many ppl say, only SQL-exports are safe and im still wondering.
