 I'm the administrator of https://bikers.social, a mastodon instance for bikers 🏍️
 
+Postgres is the most important part of an instance backup. If you lose your db, it's game over. My secrets are also backed up.

 My old mastodon backup policy consisted of regular `pg_dumps`, and `scp` to another machine. This was totally good enough, as that machine was _also_ backed up to my local NAS. I did have to semi-regularly manually clean up old backups though, and now that the instance has been going a while it would be great to have something better.
 
 I've recently revamped it a bit to use Cloudflare R2.

 ## R2
 
 I use R2 for all of the instance's assets. It's much cheaper than S3 for storage, and also has no egress fees! I'd be a bit too concerned about surprise bandwidth bills with S3.
