What are the ways to back up

What kind of backup do you usually use? Is there any way to do a snapshot?

    Is it hourly billing... or by the minute?

    Per minute. You read the bytes to some Indian guy and he writes it down. Once you drop the line the paper is shredded. All air gapped. Next level security.

    This! This, I believe also allows you to backup to Google Drive. If using SQL make sure you back then up as well.

    Does he read it back to you, to confirm he got it right?

    Zipping files and keeping them on the same server is a good idea too.

  • noisycodenoisycode Member

    rsync is my pal.

    Not really but every 64kb he'll calculate SHA512 on his slide rule so you can start over in case of any bit flips. Once your done you get to chitchat about the weather in Bangalore until you hang up to delete your snapshot.

    crontab an rsync/rclone command to backup all data into your desired medium (even floppy disks).

    If it is cloud, I like using a Veracrypt partition and afterwards upload that into cloud. One could also use Cryptomator if cloud storage does not allow large partition files of Veracrypt.

    Whatever you do, encrypt it before sending it into a cloud which uses your data for improving AI analysis of big corporations.

    If you want to get fancy and have an SMB share (or sshfs at a little lesser performance) available you can mount the share with mount.cifs (or sshfs respectively), use truncate to create a huge file, use losetup to get a loopback device from the file, encrypt that with LUKS, unlock it, format to filesystem of your liking, mount it and enjoy remote storage automatically encrypted at block level and yes, this actually works (performance isn't even half bad as long as the storage is located somewhat near to the server mounting it). I'm pretty sure providers love the garbage looking file taking up every single available byte too ;)

    Photo library:

    • Primary copy is on flash drive attached to home router.
    • I have daily unencrypted rclone from home router to storage VPS.
    • I have quarterly rclone from home router to USB hard drive that is normally disconnected.

    Seafile file storage:

    • Primary copy is on GreenCloudVPS.
    • I have daily encrypted rclone of blobs and database from Seafile server to storage VPS. Recovery procedure is tested after each major version upgrade.
    • I have daily unencrypted rclone of files in my account to home router.

    Docker registry:

    • Currently no backup and hosted on free VPS, YOLO.
    • If it's lost, I'll re-build all the container images from GitHub sources.

    Website:

    • Primary copy is in undisclosed location.
    • There's no backup.
    • If website is broken, I'm rsync from laptop.
    • If laptop is broken, I'll clone from Bitbucket. This procedure is tested annually.
