Den Netzwerkausfall hat meine #APC #BackUPS #USV (!!) verursacht. Als wir nach Hause gekommen sind, hat das Ding einen Lärm wie einen Feuermelder gemacht und alle Ausgänge deaktiviert. Aus- und Einschalten hat das Problem gelöst (hat da Microsoft die Pfoten im Spiel...? :thaenkin: )
Ein Stromausfall kommt nicht in Frage, mein Mac Mini hat keinen Reboot gemacht... Netzschwankungen bzw. kurzzeitige Ausfälle sollte das Ding ja eigentlich überbrücken...

Un petit restore basé sur la table activities de Nextcloud, sur plusieurs snapshots zfs! Pfiou!

"Toyota had to shut down 28 assembly lines at 14 auto plants in Japan due to computer issues." The one-day disruption caused an output loss of around 13,000 cars. Insufficient disk space, and "servers were running on the same system as its backup, causing the same issue there, so the company couldn't make a switch."

Working with large #backups is interesting. Most of my work is about things being pretty much instant. If I have to wait a few seconds for something I get impatient. So doing management on over a TB of backup data where processes take up to 8 hours each feel retro. Like "I've submitted my job to the main frame and tomorrow I'll have my results" 😆

@_DigitalWriter_ danke noch mal für den Tipp, #FreeFileSync ist eine tolle Software und vielseitig, gestern ausprobiert. Dass man für die Automatisierung von #Backups aber den Windows-Aufgabenplaner braucht, finde ich für meine Zwecke nicht ganz so gut. Ein Kandidat, der das glaube ich nativ kann, mit Zeitplanung und mehreren Backups mit Timestamp, wäre #pureSYNC, Personal Use kostenlos. Das teste ich dann auch mal heute Abend ... jetzt ist erst mal Familiy-Time gefragt.

Tip of the day: One of the topics we routinely preach about is the need to be diligent in backups. We believe, “If your data is important to you, it should be backed up.” While #DEVONthink doesn’t do file backups on its own, it does have an option for doing periodic full backups of a database. Here’s how to create a database archive to use as a secondary backup. #backups #pkm #productivity #safety #tipoftheday https://www.devontechnologies.com/blog/20210914-devonthink-database-archive

#cybersecurity #backups

Sonntagabend, eine gute Gelegenheit, mal wieder nach Wochen umfassende #Backups zu machen.
Drei verschiedene externe USB-Platten wollen mit Filmen, Musik und anderem Zeugs synchronisiert werden.
Bei USB 2.0 kann das dauern.
Und dauern.
Und dauern..
Und dauern... 😞

5/4 Update: looks like more devs should read that latest toot of this thread. Since I'm checking #signatures in my repo, there's not a week where not AT LEAST one app comes in with a different #signature 😱 So here's what to specifically be aware of:

* disk crashes (or entire PCs giving up)
* accidentally deleting the directory where the "important stuff" is in
* signing was done by a team member that left

All 3 cases can be covered by good #backups – just sayin'. Off-device, ideally.

So very sad to see this happen to three instances that seem to be doing pretty well. And now to read the news that all three of them are gone, and two of them won't be coming back at all.

Instances affected are: musician.social outdoors.lgbt and firefish.lgbt

(Server) #Backups: What should one use: #Restic vs #BorgBackup vs ? 🤔

Go!

Un pequeño recordatorio. No olvidéis hacer copias de seguridad de vuestra información más importante :ablobcatnod:

Hay muchas herramientas para ello, usad la que mas os guste.

En mi caso, centralizo toda la información de mis dispositivos en el ordenador de sobremesa mediante Syncthing y luego allí uso borgbackup para hacer el backup cifrado.

Seguidamente mediante Rclone lo transfiero a otras unidades externas y a un servicio de almacenaje online (siempre cifrado).

@aurora They barely sip 10W if you kick them and usually remain in the single digits and are fanless as well as silent all the time and make good miniservers for #backups too.

@fuchsiii uses one for that task specifically.

I'm doing freqent #backups to the cloud on Backblaze B2 with my #qnap NAS.
I don't want to be tied to one manufacturer, so I prefer a separate solution to the QNAP Hybrid Backup (which, btw., has a terrible UI in my opinion).

#backups once I accidentally deleted the president of the companies mailbox, thought I had a backup, it was a difficult day!

@bsi Fast ebenso wichtig wie #Sicherungen (#Backups): ein kleiner Vorrat regelmäßiger "#Schnappschüsse" (#snapshots) vom aktuellen Zustand aller Dateien, mit denen Nutzer:innen selbständig eine kleine Zeitreise rückwärts machen können, ohne jemand um "Wiederherstellung" bitten zu müssen.

Es wird häufiger unbeabsichtigt oder leichtsinnig etwas gelöscht, was man eine Woche später dann doch wieder bräuchte.

@wa7iut @nixCraft *nodds in agreement*

I did try @Stuxhost's #Nextcloud some time ago and it was just noice.

And whilst #Tarsnap is not an option for me due to several regulatory and architectual requirements on my end, I'm convinced they do provide an excellent product and for a lot of people this may just be the option re: #Backups.

How do you personally handle your backups? How often do you test them?

I personally use a combination of syncthing & restic. I cold store my backups in a safe deposit box (data in the GB). Data is not particularly sensitive, but useful to me.

I just find my process a little tedious and I'd like a better pruning / testing routine. I also wish I had a medium I trusted more, but LTO is expensive / space consuming.
