Backing up my Windows workstation using restic
After I successfully configured restic backup for my Linux home lab server, I wanted to do the same for my Windows workstation.

Since I bought an ASUS NUC some months ago to act as my home lab server, I started to rely on a couple of applications running on it. That meant it was time to set up a proper backup as a safeguard in case of a disaster. I chose restic as the backup tool.
As I'm slowly replacing cloud services with self-hosted ones, I'm relying on my Synology NAS more and more. This encouraged me to rethink its backup strategy. I configured two separate backups: one to an external USB drive, one to Hetzner Storage Box. This allowed me to follow the 3-2-1 backup rule.
