Ask HN: How do you backup your database?

We have a MariaDB database running on Debian VM (DigitalOcean droplet).

The database is at the core of our business.

But there has to be a better way to create automatic backups.

The way I currently do it is with cronjobs and scripts that move the transaction logs to another cloud provider (every xx minutes) and do a full backup every night.

Is this really the way to do this?
