DAILY REMINDER TO BACKUP YOUR STUFF

There are two kinds of users.
Those that have lost their data.
And those that haven't lost their data, yet.

Haven't lost my data ever.

Ironically because even if I lost all my porn and chink porn cartoons I wouldn't give a shit. Possession means nothing to me.

Also I don't even understand the point of backup softwares. Why can't I just copy my files?

What does PSA mean?

Retard your "Cloud" is just another computer out there on the internet sitting there waiting to be compromised one day

Also don't over do it. I fell for the "one backup is not backup" meme.
>one ssd, two hdd without raid, important stuff copied 3 times
>three "offline" hdd in the closet, important stuff copied 3 more times, also whole system and "important stuff" folder backup monthly
>100+ rw media, all kind (cd, dvd, bluray, pendrives) important stuff based on size 1-10 more copy, very important stuff also goes to single write media too
If I had a lot of money, everything would be in raid and I would use tapes too and store everything in different cities, even countries.

Please Save Anime. I.e. OP is asking you to backup your anime, or you will lose it.

thank god it was just the backup and you still had the original files

raid is not a backup solution!
the 3 2 1 rule is as follows

3 different backups
on 2 different mediums (dvd, usb etc)
1 offsite (not your room)

you certainly overdone it

i should connect my offline drive and run rsync, heh
its been few months since last backup on some things i want to backup, most of shit i have is worthless though and doesnt matter
i'll get to it, eventually..

Too true. I started doing backups after deleting some important stuff like a retard.

kek

how does one do this

Go back to Jow Forumseddit

(((cloud)))

you tranny porn is more protected than nuclear missile launch codes it would seem

>> Why can't I just copy my files?
That is a kind of backup.

Different user, those cloud files are backed up on each of my computers connected to it. So lots of redundancy.

If a file gets corrupt that can get synced.

My HDD is in a locked drawer, and I'm too lazy to get it out.
It's not like it's ever going to happen to me, right?

>syncthing between laptop, desktop, homeserver, rpi@moms home
>snapshots on all devices
>daily dirvish backups on homeserver
>Backup everything to a hard disk once a month and store it at work
Should be save.

There are two kinds of users.
Those that do backups
And those that haven't lost their data, yet.

Good point. Never mind

>Everything on my 2TB SSD is also backed up on OneDrive
>Never worry about losing data
>Never do banking on pc or save degenerate trash to it so don't worry about being PWNED
Life is good

For the things I modify all the time like games, Jow Forums folders and my music compositions, everything goes on external hard drives. For things set in stone like my ancient family photos, I burn em on blu rays

I used to have a script that would do versioned backups of my my email and cloud files to my personal pc everyday. There are better solutions but whatever. My internet is to slow for that now. Literally less than half a megabit. Rip

I just have a syncthing between my phone and computer for music and pictures and everything else I could just reinstall

I store personal files to mega (sensitive files to encrypted .7z)

and also in a mechanical HDD that is for backups only, disconnected sitting in a drawer.

The hard drive will be ok, right? I plug it in once every 2 weeks or so.

I thank God everyday that I learned about data loss as a child when my Pokemon Gold Version deleted itself. It was traumatizing enough to set me on the course of weakly backups as an adult when my data actually matters.

Backing up stuff is fine and all but what I actually want most is backing up the install registry/windows so you don't get a ton of programs or games broken even though you did backed them up.

Ok bros, I got Deja Dup to backup my home folder. How do I generate a list of all the packages installed on my system and how, in case of failure, do I use that list to restore my system? Ubuntu 18.04, btw
