Question: how to handle multiple backup setups?

[jcotton42]

I'm currently using rclone to Google Drive but am thinking of switching to restic for a couple personal reasons. However, I would also like to have local tar backups as well, for easier/faster restores. I'm thinking a local tar every 30min, plus a restic every day. How would I go about setting that up?

The first idea that comes to mind is just having multiple mc-backup containers all attached to the same data volume, but I'm wondering if might end up conflicting with one another, especially around the rcon commands to disable/enable automatic saving.

I was also thinking I'd use two instances but also would worry the intervals would eventually collide. That probably isn't horrible but might cause a small window of non-paused world data.

It seems like an interesting thing to support with a single instance, but would need to think through the config "interface".
