World Backup Day Thread 🔥
It's that day of the year again. 🤩 Time to check on missing and existing backups.
This year I focused on existing backups and did a short checklist on what usually goes wrong. Just the headlines:
- Backups are happening
- Backups are happening often enough
- Backups contain the expected data
- Backups are independent (enough) from the source data
- Backups are safe from modification
Those are the main ones based on my experience from common BorgBase support emails and client work on managed servers and office backups we also do.
How was your previous year in relation to backups? Any data loss from LET providers, bad luck or stupidity? Looking forward to hear some stories from the trenches. 🙌

Really happy I decided to buy Aomei Backupper Pro some years ago. Has been working solid and recently added Outlook backup feature, too

Check in with your loved ones too - chances are they have high value content (family pictures) and no clue on how to do backups. Be sure not to overwhelm them with technical stuff
Good one. My parents have all family pictures on a 10-year old USB NAS drive. 😬

WTH? I thought it was @ehab day.
Mine ain't usb, but the drives are closing on 12 years now. Maybe time to replace them 🙈

rsync + rclone + syncthing + bunch of cheap VPS from LES. more than enough to cover 3-2-1
