A Windows 11 user lost 30 years of data after being locked out of their Microsoft account 🔒, exposing risks of relying only on cloud sync ☁️. Lack of clear support left no recourse.

Backup tips: keep multiple copies, verify sync ✅, and use offline backups 🔐 to protect irreplaceable files.

When did you last test your #BackupStrategy ? For me it was last night after I accidentally deleted my digital music collection.
Regardless of which operating system is used loss of data can have consequences that a good #Backup can save you from.
A music collection may not seem important but I'm an old fart and a lot of my collection started life on vinyl or CDs that I no longer have. Replacing it from scratch would take hours of ripping CDs and cost money and time buying digital copies.
Now imagine something similar happening to your data.

Fortunately years of working in various IT support roles has shown me the importance of backing up data. At home I use a variation of the 3 2 1 rule and after about 30 minutes my music collection was back.

⚠️ Storage warning: Unpowered SSDs may not protect your data the way you think.

A long-term endurance investigation found that SSDs left unplugged for extended periods can suffer:
💾 Performance degradation
📉 Critical data loss
🗂️ Silent corruption of cold backups
🧠 Higher risk if the SSD is already worn

This is a reminder:
🔁 Refresh your backups
🔌 Power up drives regularly
🛡️ Don’t rely on “set it and forget it” storage strategies

Backup hygiene matters — even when the hardware looks fine.

Aqui em casa uso o Time Machine há quase vinte anos. O HD de backup fica sempre conectado no computador.

Fiz backup remoto no Backblaze por mais de dez anos, mas este ano o preço (e o dólar) subiram e agora vou alternando dois HDs no Time Machine (um deles fica fora de casa).

Ainda bem que nunca precisei restaurar um sistema inteiro e é raro ter de recuperar um arquivo apagado.

Is anyone doing encryption-at-rest remote backups to cloud storage from a Linux home network? I'm thinking of using a provider like Hetzner and lashing up something using rsync, but it's a bit out of my wheelhouse so good tutorials or examples are welcome. Ideally using only OSS tools - I know there are some commercial backup solutions for Linux as well, but would not be comfortable trusting my data to them.

File History does not replace a full backup.

File history is not a replacement for system image backup If for example your entire hard drive fails It's your system image backup that will allow you to restore your system

Wie fängt eins eigentlich an, sich ein NAS für ein zentrales Backup für zuhause einzurichten? Vor allem auch zu dem ganzen Hardwarekram. Oder renn ich da einfach in einen lokalen Computerladen und hoffe, dass da wer Ahnung hat? Dass da dann ein Server-Ubuntu drauf kommen könnte, hab ich zumindest im Hinterkopf... Und ja, es ist erstmal nur die erste Ebene, um zumindest etwas besser gegen Hardwareausfälle geschützt zu sein, aber besser als das jetzige, bei dem ich es nie hinkriege, die Platte regelmäßig anzustecken und -schalten... Backups sollten schon gut mindestens von Windows und Ubuntu aus funktionieren, wenn Androids und lokal angeschlossene USB-Geräte auch gehen, wärs nur noch ganz nett zusäptzlich...

Under the assumption that you have backups, and the additional assumption that your backups are encrypted, how do you store the keys to access these encrypted backups?

🛠️ Looking for advice! 🛠️

I'm using NextCloud AIO with S3 as primary storage, and now I'm trying to figure out the best backup strategy. I want to ensure that I’m backing up both the database and any other important configurations/data. AIO has Borgbackup built-in, but since my primary storage is S3, I'm not sure if it would work effectively in my case.

Anyone else using a similar setup? Would appreciate any recommendations or insights!

Edit: Considering manual backup of Docker volumes (e.g; /var/lib/docker/volumes/nextcloud_aio_database/_data for DB). Is it sufficient for restoring the files/database? Will the containers use this data correctly?

Boosts appreciated for wider reach. Thanks! 🚀☁️💾

Fedifriends: I want to improve my back-up strategy, which at the moment is very manual: plug external drive, and manually selecting and copying files over.

What is the best way to automate this? Perhaps even with a schedule?

A while back, I set out to overhaul my practices to safeguard my digital life. This article delves into the insights and considerations that helped shape a where no data is left behind.

Learned a hard lesson tonight. And that lesson is don't try to move your virtual server from one Proxmox node to another without first checking that the other node actually has enough storage space for the virtual disk. But hey, at least I got to test my Mastodon server's backup strategy. Also, how long does it take a server to re-pull 24 hours of content? :big_brain:

@heiseonline Wer ein #Backup auf eine fremde #Cloud macht, hat halt eine schlechte #Backupstrategy. Zumal wenn die #Backups #unencrypted/#unverschlüsselt sind. War schon immer so, wird immer so sein. Neu ist dieser Sachverhalt ja nicht.
