@lemgandi not to mention that you can configure your setup to your needs and demands.

• May it be a fancy 3D desktop with effects or distraction-free monochrome (or even colourful) 80x25 (or larger) terminal!

Basically the only limits are how much you want to edit your own config files.

• Plus if a machine dies you can just chug' your drive into a new one. Also #backups are an absolute breeze to do!

🇱🇺 Oh right, I almost forgot to share the news... June will be pretty busy 🤯 🤣
I'll be giving a talk at Voxxed Days Luxembourg on June 19!

I'm both excited and a bit nervous. I loved the topic when I submitted it, but now comes the real challenge: writing a talk that actually lives up to it 😅

🎤 "pg_dump ou pas pg_dump, telle est la question"
Because backups aren't just a DBA thing 🙂

If you're planning to attend, come say hi!

Waking in the middle of the night, checking the computer, and finding that it is still chugging away and has done another 20GiB in a couple of hours is also probably what they did then, too.

Although not in GiB. (-:

Резервирование кластера Greengage DB (на базе Greenplum OSS)

Greengage DB — это массивно-параллельная реляционная СУБД на базе Greenplum OSS, которая подходит для хранения и обработки данных. Позволяет выполнять сложные аналитические запросы над большими объёмами данных, предоставляя к ним гетерогенный доступ за счёт различного рода коннекторов и средств интеграции. Но помимо функциональных возможностей, есть и ряд других необходимых вещей, таких как мониторинг, аудит, резервирование и пр. Они требуются для обеспечения полноценной и надёжной работы системы, особенно если речь идёт о промышленной эксплуатации. В рамках данной статьи как раз хочется обсудить подход к резервированию кластера Greengage: какие тут есть возможности, каковы подводные камни и многое другое.

Blöd gelaufen. Rolle gerade #prometheus Kram via #puppet aus und hab einen #cron übersehen, der deaktiviert war und durch Puppet wieder aktiv wurde. War ein #rsync mit —delete 🙄 und nun fehlen über 400 Dateien .
Ein Mix aus „ist egal und kann neu erstellt werden“, „hmm, blöd aber ok“ und „Shit, da muss man vermutlich den Kunden um Hilfe bitte“. Na mal kucken was das Management da morgen macht.

Jetzt machen wir erstmal 2x täglich #backups

Wusste gar nicht, dass es mit #Backrest für #Restic endlich ein feines (Web-)GUI gibt! https://github.com/garethgeorge/backrest
Nice! :awesome:

#Backup #Backups

Bought a new USB SATA drive dock for data backups. I popped in the drive I use for periodically imaging my main desktop, but it wouldn't show up. Tried another USB port. Still nothing.

Then I checked drive management: there was, of course, a signature conflict between the C: drive and the drive containing the image of the same. D'oh!

Booted from a thumb drive, and Clonezilla is now chugging away! This dock is much easier than using my old USB adapter kit with its multiple wires. #Backups

@louis @jimsalter to me it says more about said (#CCSS) #vendors when their software doesn't make #backups and #restore as simple as it could be.

Perkeep
"Perkeep (née Camlistore) is a set of open source formats, protocols, and software for modeling, storing, searching, sharing and synchronizing data in the post-PC era. Data may be files or objects, tweets or 5TB videos, and you can access it via a phone, browser or FUSE filesystem."

🧠 If your data only exists on your host’s server, it’s already at risk.

Don’t assume backups exist.
Don’t assume they work.
Don’t assume they’re recent.

If you really value your stuff, you back it up yourself.

Learned that one the hard way during BurstNet. Never again.

I'm just a bit glad to have taken a complete copy of the entire zpool over to another machine on xfs...

How to Generate a Full #VPS #Backup Using #rclone (Simple 3-Minute Guide) This article provides a detailed step-by-step description of how to generate a full VPS backup using rclone.
What is rclone?
Rclone is a powerful open-source command-line tool for managing files on cloud storage services and local storage. You can think of it as kind of like "rsync" (the popular file-copying tool), but specifically ...

Friendly reminder: Test your #backups regularly.

Had to restore one of my servers after a failed OS upgrade. Worked smoothly, everything's still there.

Kittens I need help. What can be done to backup a website if we are logged out of all admin panels? I'm going through a hell of a divorce process and looks like bogolepov.eu is a hostage now. And it's not just a website. It's a baby. I hope the sanity will be restored and I'm panicking over nothing. But I also want to know what to do in the worst case scenario. Or since the website is up now. Thank you

I think it would be nice if macOS sent you a local notification if a Time Machine backup fails, rather than just setting it's icon to a tiny exclamation mark that looks almost the same as the normal icon and then does no further backups until I notice this 10 days later ☹️
