 How can I be a happy chap in IT? Let me tell you about it: * The RAID is a backup fallacy: RAID is for redundancy, NOT backups! (Seriously, people!) * Neglecting backups: Data loss is tragic. Back up your precious files. * Blind faith in backups: Test them! Know how long it takes to restore. Otherwise get ready for Schrödinger's backup 😉 6 comments
@nixCraft Hope it's not bad form for me to say I'm very happy with https://rsync.net/. I backup there from macOS, Windows, and Linux, and set my custom zfs snapshot cadence, and have successfully restored from them. No issues and I've been with them for years. @nixCraft I got to test my backups just this week. I was working on some scripts to try to provoke a ZFS bug and was developing on the target host (a Raspberry Pi.) I had put my development directory in the pool and without much forethought, destroyed the pool. 😬 Luckily for me, part of the testing involved sending the pool to another host so I just recovered the project from the backup host. 😀 |
