#Backup

2025-05-21

And my external hard drive died ... Great years of Work and memories lost so to a seemingly big I can't locate because the drive reacts but it sounds horrible and the PC doesn't recognizes anything...

Hopefully my USB sticks survive long enough til I can buy a new solid state this time... :/
1 TB of backups, works and or memories lost...
4 Month ago it just worked fine I guess the storage area got hotter as I expected or it's just its natural time to die after 13 years of service.

Remember to backup AS OFTEN and as MUCH as you can and not only on one medium.

It would be much better if #backup software could somehow recognize that it's looking at a #database and do whatever is needed to back it up properly, without needing to be told by the administrator.

Perhaps DBMSes should place a socket with a well-known name in their database directory that, when connected to, causes the DBMS to sync everything and then wait for the backup to finish? Then you can just back up the raw database files. SQLite would need special handling, though.

Gestern Mittag habe ich festgestellt, dass unsere Verbindung nicht funktioniert. Total abstruses Fehlerbild: Gateway war per Ping meistens erreichbar, mit teilw. Antwortzeiten von >20000ms. Die Config-Seite ließ sich nicht öffnen. Nach einem Tag kann ich berichten: auf der -Pro funktioniert, auch wenn eine Einstellung komplett falsch gesetzt wird und die gesamte in den Keller zieht 😂

Today is #backup day on my #Yunohost service…

Since I’ve started using my GoToSocial account in anger, the backup has grown exponentially. I also removed Friendica.

Total size of this backup is 8.38GB
* #CollaboraOnline - 199KB
* #GoToSocial - 6.72GB
* #Nextcloud - 1.66GB

#android #FOSS folks, is there a gap in the automated #DataExport / #backup space?

I use #OpenTracks to track fitness activities (it's not quite the Google Fit replacement I was hoping it would be: See github.com/OpenTracksApp/OpenT) and #OsmAndMaps, and I use Nextcloud. However, backing up my cycling/walking/running tracks from OpenTracks and my bookmarks from OsmAnd to Nextcloud requires manual action.

If this is indeed a gap, I was thinking of putting up an open source recurring automated data export protocol for public comment.

1. Any data producing app (like OpenTracks) can include a small library that implements the protocol, allowing users to define the automated recurring data export frequency, how many old backups to keep etc.
2. Any data backup app (like Nextcloud) can include a different library that broadcasts an intent at a regular frequency that all protocol-compliant data producing apps can handle. When the broadcast is received, data producers can generate/hand over the file(s) to be backed up by the data backup app.

I'm tempted to build a #WebDAV-compliant open source app as well (as an example of a protocol-compliant data backup app) but that might be a grand undertaking.

Thoughts?

Do you make backups? Do you run ZFS? Do you use Bacula? Do you use dd?

Your method is important for you. What's also important is testing how a restore works.

I lost a partition less than 30 minutes ago. I have a simple tgz backup of the important data on another drive, not an SSD, no a HDD.

I lost zero bytes of data.

Please make sure your backup and restore systems work.

When your recovery tool says the partition is lost, only your backup will save you.

Mine did

#OpenSource #Backup #Restore #Data #Recovery

The image shows a terminal window displaying the output of the TestDisk 7.1 data recovery utility. The utility is running on a Linux system The top of the window contains the utility's name, version, and copyright information, along with the author's email address and website. Below this, the utility is analyzing a hard disk identified as /dev/sdb, which is reported to have a capacity of 250 GB, but the utility suggests it might be 232 GB, 323 GB, or 300 GiB. The utility notes that the hard disk size seems too small and suggests checking the hard disk size, HD jumper settings, and BIOS detection.

The output lists three partitions that cannot be recovered, all labeled as "MS Data" and formatted as NTFS with a block size of 4096. The partitions are shown with their start and end sectors, and their sizes in sectors. The first partition starts at sector 488392703 and ends at sector 630994935, with a size of 142602233 sectors. The second partition starts at sector 488396792 and ends at sector 631003120, with a size of 142606329 sectors. The third partition starts at sector 488396799 and ends at sector 631003127, with a size of 142606329 sectors. The total size of these partitions is 73 GB, but the utility notes that it is 67 GiB.

At the bottom of the window, there is a prompt asking the user to "Continue," indicating that the user can proceed with the recovery process or exit the utility.

What I'm still missing is a custom #recovery that can actually do any useful stuff (especially full #backup).

My device has recovery as a #ramdisk in vendor_boot, and there are some prebuilt vendor_boot images with #twrp around, which I don't want to use directly because there's also an init-boot ramdisk in there that needs patching for root with #magisk ... and as far as I understood now, these ramdisks are userland only, using the shared #kernel from the boot partition, so it's unlikely a recovery built for #HyperOS1 (#Android 14, #Linux 5) will work with #HyperOS2 (Android 15, Linux 6).

What I *did* try nevertheless was modifying my vendor_boot using Magisk's #magiskboot utility, replacing ONLY the recovery ramdisk. It resulted in #bootloop trying to boot the normal system, so there seems to be something I still don't understand (I *thought* this ramdisk would only ever be loaded when booting to recovery).

For now, I'll live with the useless stock #Xiaomi recovery. Attempting to do my own build of twrp or orangefox really is too much hassle 🙈

#Hallo Ihr Lieben auf lsbt.me ,

Unsere #Instanz wächst und wächst. Kürzlich hatten wir unser zwei-jähriges Jubiläum. Wir haben aktuell 221 trötende #Rüssel hier auf unserer Instanz und das bedeutet, dass unsere Instanz mit eine der erfolgreichen Instanzen im #deutsch sprachigen Raum geworden ist.

Das bedeutet aber auch, dass der Instanz #Server einiges zu leisten hat. Er muss performant bleiben und er muss groß genug sein, um die ganzen #Tröts mit ihren #Medien wie #Bilder und #Videos zu speichern. Auch der #Backup-Server muss entsprechend dimensioniert sein. Das alles kostet viel #Geld im #Monat, das ich vollständig aus der eigenen #Tasche bezahle.

Wenn es Dir hier bei uns also gefällt und Du nicht möchtest, dass diese Instanz irgendwann in der Versenkung verschwindet, wie so viele andere kleine und große Instanzen auch, dann denke doch einmal drüber nach, ob Du mich dabei nicht ein kleines bisschen #unterstützen möchtest.

Spenden kannst du entweder per #Bitcoin, Paypal oder Banküberweisung. Alle Informationen dazu findest du unter #Spendenmöglichkeiten auf der "About" Seite dieser Instanz ganz unten: lsbt.me/about#spenden
Am meisten freue ich mich natürlich, wenn Du die Möglichkeit der regelmäßigen #Spende per #PayPal oder #Dauerauftrag nutzen würdest.

Vielen Dank und weiterhin ganz viel Spaß bei uns, wünscht Dir Eure #Admina
Christin
