Baywatch Nights 1x14 - Backup

#RandomBaywatch #lvdlpx #Baywatch #BaywatchObjects #Objectify #Objectification #BackUp

#Hallo Ihr Lieben auf https://lsbt.me ,

Unsere #Instanz wächst und wächst. Kürzlich hatten wir unser zwei-jähriges Jubiläum. Wir haben aktuell 217 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: https://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

PSA: Do not forget to take regular backups of your files!

#Duplicati is an excellent cross-platform solution for this ✨
https://duplicati.com/download

It's available as Open Source on GitHub:
https://github.com/duplicati/duplicati

It has so many options, like:
- store up to a certain amount of versions of backups
- store up to a certain duration (e.g. for 1 year)
- and many more...

Personally, I use it for backing up my files from my laptop to a drive that is attached to my Raspberry Pi (via ssh)

#Backup #File

@Tourma
You're wise to want a #backup. I've never regretted having a backup. I've occasionally regretted the lack of one.

I have a dedicated partition just for disk images. Before dangerous operations, or just when I feel like it, I boot into a #Linux live image, use #cryptsetup to decrypt my root partition, and use #dd to back up critical partitions to my images partition. I use a script so that it's harder to make mistakes (by, for example, copying in the wrong direction). The script has several commands like this:

sudo dd bs=16M status=progress if=/dev/sdb1 of=/mnt/images/biosboot.img
sudo dd bs=16M status=progress if=/dev/sdb2 of=/mnt/images/boot.img

... plus some stuff for decrypting my root directory, which won't be relevant for your application.

If this is a one-off operation for you, and especially if you're only backing up a single partition, then you don't need to write a script for it.

Although I have an images partition, you could back up across the network. The essential thing is to boot into a Linux live image and make sure none of the partitions you want to back up is mounted.

The first time you look at a #Windows machine's hard disk under Linux, you'll find several hidden partitions. I honestly don't know what they all do, except that one, I know, is dedicated to telemetry. But you might be wise to back up the entire disk (in Linux terms, something like /dev/sda) rather than just a single partition (/dev/sda1). That way, you'll get all those partitions and the partition table as well.

I'd suggest seeking advice from someone who spends more time in the Windows world, just in case there's something I don't know about that end of things.

@bitboxer Would another smaller #Synology box be an option as well? For 3TB cloud space over at C2 (around 530€ for 2 years), you can get DS223 with 2x4TB drives. Both options are compatible with HB ofc, but personally I think running another box will give more options and more space than pure #cloud #backup.

Still, C2 per month for 3TB is about 26€ and that is also not a bad deal for a 100% compatible environment.

My #backup routine just saved me.

I unintentionally deleted 2 months/300GB worth of source video files that I thought I had already moved off my laptop and onto my storage server.

My routine:
bvckup2.com app $50 several years ago syncs laptop to network every 3 hours and keeps deleted files in an archive folder for 1 month.

Then weekly offsite backup via Borg (borgbackup.org) which gives 5 months of deduplicated backups (15TB into 1.2TB on disk)

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 ...

Karena hari ini #WorldPasswordDay

Ngingetin buat diri sendiri dan orang lain, #backup your password!

Btw saya pakai 3 password manager dalam satu browser lho :hehe:

#keepassxc for offline password
#protonpass kalau mau cepat syncronize ke device lain
#bitwarden menggunakan selfhosted #vaultwarden untuk redundancy

Schreiben wir mal den letzten Teil meines aktuellen Backups auf Band...

Weils ned so viel ist passt das auch auf ein #LTO3 #Tape :)

#Backup

Nothing like a “Full NAS” #backup to have that peace of mind ;).

Heute wäre auch ein guter Tag, mal wieder ein Backup zu machen.
Meins ist schon durchgelaufen, jetzt seid ihr dran.

#Backup #Sicherung

Question: What are people doing #backup wise these days? Curious in particular about backups for #Mac and #iCloud (have a lot of photos I don’t want to lose in there!). Been a long time Dropbox user but have now got files scattered across services and I’m keen to consolidate.

Erstmal einen #Snapshot machen, #Backup machen ist wichtig!

@tripplehelix Thanks for this.

Slurp does look like a useful tool even if one isn't migrating to a new #Fediverse instance. (At this point, it looks like it doesn't currently archive boosts).

The backup file numbers don't quite have a 1:1 match to numbers in the archive files I've gotten from the Preferences -> Export page.

We'll see what happens if, when, I decide to import to a new instance.

A blog post explaining how I am performing backup of a Volume Storage in fly.io.

I am not 100% satisfied with the solution, but it is a start and at least now I have some kind of backup. I will try to improve it and update the post in the next weeks.

I am running #PhotoPrism on a Raspberry Pi 5 with 8GB of RAM, using a 1TB SSD as the main and only drive, using the Pimoroni NVMe Base.

So far, I could not properly measure the performance, because I don’t know how to do it, but I am satisfied! Yet, this is definitely not a future-proof solution, since I need way more storage: I still haven’t imported most of my pictures there, and I need to prepare for plenty more to come.

The simplest (yet quite pricey, 261£) option would be to get a Pimoroni NVMe Duo and maximize it with a total of 4TB NVMe SSDs.

I think this is not optimal, though, and probably I could be spending all that money much better… Do you have any advice?

The thing about hosting a personal media gallery is that it requires a lot of resources when indexing the pictures (so only when you add new ones), then it’s super light—correct me if I am wrong, @photoprism. Hence, I’m thinking the best would be an extensible solution where I can add many HDDs and SSDs, without being forced to pump up the other specs too. I would probably be using just one NVMe SSD for the software and the database, and then save everything else in high-performance HDDs, since they are getting cheap and I can get much more storage with less money—of course I am performing a daily backup off-site, as they are more likely to fail, too.

If I am 100% sure that whatever I end up choosing will be solid for many years to come, I am willing to consider spending a bit more on it.
