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.

    most backup providers encrypt data on their servers so you dont have to manage that I dont think.

    That’s something you should manage yourself, so the provider isn’t the one with the keys, by encrypting the backup locally before sending it. Most solutions you mention let you do that.
