These three lines cover what's actually worth an off-site backup on a homelab server, per [folders and partitions](/general/linux/filesystem): `/srv/docker` holds every stack's config and data (databases, uploaded files, Vaultwarden's vault, Pocket ID's users, and so on), `/etc` holds your system configuration (the SSH hardening from the [installation guide](/serveex/core/installation#close-the-door-behind-you), your SWAG `.subdomain.conf` files, systemd units), and `/home` holds your own scripts and notes. All three mounted read-only, a backup tool has no business writing to what it's backing up.
The `/srv/docker`, `/etc` and `/home` lines above cover what's actually worth an off-site backup on a homelab server, per [folders and partitions](/general/linux/filesystem): `/srv/docker` holds every stack's config and data (databases, uploaded files, Vaultwarden's vault, Pocket ID's users, and so on), `/etc` holds your system configuration (the SSH hardening from the [installation guide](/serveex/core/installation#close-the-door-behind-you), your SWAG `.subdomain.conf` files, systemd units), and `/home` holds your own scripts and notes. All three are mounted read-only, a backup tool has no business writing to what it's backing up.
What's usually **not** worth it: a big media library or a torrent download folder sitting on a separate data disk. It's often huge, replaceable, and rarely worth paying for cloud storage or SSH bandwidth to protect. Mount it too if you disagree, `/media:/userdata/media:ro` for instance, just think about the size first.
