Backups, what everyone knows has to be done but no one does 😅
Hey Michael, the new version of zorin is up are you gonna make a video about it?
I have always been a fan of emergency backups. And every data back up I make, is then itself backed up once again. I'm using 5tb external HDDs, so you can never be too careful as you hinted at, and I totally agree. These things always seem to happen at the worst possible time. However, ironically a system failure worked in my favor once very recently, and that is what got me fed-up with Windows and got me into Linux. I did not lose anything because I was able to remove the drive, put it into an external encasement and retrieve my files. Then I simply wiped the drive and installed my first ever Linux distro. If Windows had not gotten corrupted beyond repair, I fear it would have been a long time before I finally gave Linux a try, and that would have been a shame, because I really love it.
Class video mate. I enjoy your content. And I hope you and your family have a safe and happy holiday and new years. Cheers brother!
why you standing in the corner, hiding from someone?
Wait, the ACS kernel patch allows VMs to interact with hardware on host? I didn't quite understand the sentence
– raid (or zfs) is not a backup
– the worst enemy for your data is you (accidental deletions, misconfigurations)
Interesting to see proxmox zfs being used, I did consider that too but ended up with (almost) diskless proxmox and dedicated truenas hardware. I'm hoping that backing up a bigger storage unit would be easier to manage than multiple small ones and that way it would be less likely that I forget to back something up – even with automations. But being honest, my backup server motherboard is still at DHL, so I'm still living on an edge for a couple of days, hopefully for the last time ever.
Can you make a dedicated video about your server and another one about the whole backing up process?
You know for noobs like me who don't even know how to back up their file?🙋♂
I do backup most of my data across, like, five different devices with Resilio. Only my home server and PC has access to everything, though, but for really important ones like work and supporting docs for CV, I do try to get it backed up across as many devices as I could.
At one time I had decide on my Server to use Software Raid.
It's was a regular Linux Server and the RAID had work for pretty well.
Except the day when after a reboot, nothing…
I discover that stupid mdadm had forgot my RAID !!!
It's was a huge pain and fear to recover my Data, I have to recreate the RAID with the same command I use to create it.
I really tough I will loose a lot of DATA. But by chance It's just take 8h of waiting with fear.
Today I don't use RAID anymore. I use regular Filesystem with MergeFS to create a unify one.
And for the disk failed I don't care. I had now a dedicated home server Off site to sync my Data so if One of those die.
I'm safe.
But It's that kind of moment that make you relise how important and critical are Backups.
Never underestimate a backup. Even if it's old. That's the kind of thing that can really save you !
Once again, I'm reminded of backups. But this topic is driving me nuts.
I consider myself to be somewhat familiar with linux at this point, but I can't for the life of me find an approachable way to backups.
It's either "just rsync it to a drive, no biggie" or "here's 17 reasons why you are backing up wrong, all of which are way over your head"
What's your backup strategy? Is it just copying files by hand to an external drive? Is it scheduled? What tool do you use? Is it a snapshot backup or image or obly select files rather than the whole system?
Alright, time to backup. Been slacking for a few weeks. Thanks for the reminder!
