What's your backup strategy?

    don't

  • zedzed Member

    i just trust my provider to handle that

  • JohnFilch123JohnFilch123 Member

    Always backup after losing the data :lol:

  • emghemgh Member, Megathread Squad

    Regular DB dumps & file backups to Backblaze B2 (everything) and Cloudflare R2 (only latest)

    For my most important server I have a bash script that sets it all up, it’s way too big but I ain’t fixing that

    For the things I’ve set up more recently i.e last few years, everything is Ansible so restoring is very easy

    I buy from reputable providers with automated backups.
    If none, I don't buy.

    Btrfs snapshots for now.

    3-2-1

    Three copies of my data on two different types of media of which one is off-site.

    Different types of media can also be one copy on a storage server and another one with a cloud provider.

    Some advice:

    • Never, even blindly trust providers to make backups for you. This is only for quick access. Not for DR. If there's a disaster at your provider, chances are backups are affected too.
    • RAID is not a backup. Just means nothing goes down when a disk dies.
    • Btrfs/ZFS snapshots are not backups unless you move them to another server (and then still 3-2-1 should apply)
