Backups save your life

What do you use?
How often?

Two backup drives, which I use arbitrarily

I clicked thru the timeshift wizard not remember my settings.

No backups, just bought a 2tb mx500 tho, I might just get a couple of 4tb hdds and go for a proper backup solution. Is there any goat program that automates the process, or you go manually?

Nothing
Never
True story.

Everything that I can't lose is backed up following the 3-2-1 rule.
Anime and other things that I can just redownload whenever since I'm on multiple private trackers are only backed up once

And that aggregates to how many tbs of drives total

about 20TB not counting my offsite backups

I've started using zfs-auto-snapshot and syncoid recently, they seem to do alright together.

Macrium, only system SSD and 2d porn backup

KeePass Database is backed up and synced between my NAS, my desktop, my laptop, and my phone. Each month I update the backups on my two USB flash drives, and External Hard Drive. I also keep and update an unnecessarily veracrypted copy on Google Drive for off-site redundancy.
Config files for various software and Game Saves on NAS and External Hard Drive, used for Desktop/Laptop so technically they're in 4 places.
Important Documents on my NAS and External Hard Drive, other documents that don't include sensitive information are just on Google Drive
Music is on my NAS, External Hard Drive and my Phone (only takes up 100GB so no real problem with that yet)
Any sort of photos/webms/gifs I've saved/made are on my NAS and my External Hard Drive
Torrents/Game Data/Anime/TV shows/etc. is only on my NAS and nowhere else because I can just re-download them.
Been considering Backblaze/Crashplan but at the same time it might be a hassle to setup if the only real things I care about being backed up don't really take up any more than 500GB.

I use a RAID1 array to keep uptime and use an external drive to do incremental backups weekly and snapshots monthly or bi-monthly, depending on the directory and thus content.

Syncoid is great, we use it at work. Definitely use ZFS either way.

Everything is Hardware Mirrored Manually Backed up every 6months or so (helps me sort and clean the rubbish)

i really like having desktop drives mirrored to a 2.5" USB drive so i can just pack up and fly out on short notice

i have 15 years of photos backed up on BR Disc at my parents as a super failsafe

i had a few 2TB seagates drop dead in 2017 and now everything is a mess spread out on smaller drives

i would like to buy a some large micro SD cards to change this situtation one day.

i have given in to the botnet and just started using icloud and mega cloud services this year...

all my data from the last 15 years is intact and i have not experienced any data loss despite multiple drives shitting the bed.

I really only regularly backup config files and such and it's all automated. Just the things it would be a pain to replace. Losing all of my fap related stuff would suck but I'd get over it. Everything else can be easily re-downloaded.

Time Machine for my Mac. Nightly, my computer makes a new backup, merging the previous one, ignoring files that are unchanged.

rsync on my Linux machines, also nightly. All backups from both are then uploaded to two separate offsite backup locations in case my NAS suffers a complete, catastrophic failure of all of the drives in my array at once, and the first offsite location has a sudden fire or explosion simultaneously.

Bvckup 2 Pro for everything
i don't have my movie (54 TB) or porn (42 TB) servers backed up because i can't afford it

What anime is that? Just Curious

The secret to successfully Backing up is not waste any disk on tv movies and porn (except those classic nostalgia faps)

docs projects pics memes and music get highest priority. The rest is pretty well seeded for eternity.

Machikado Mazoku.
It's a cute series.

Home nextcloud server and 3 laptops are backed up 3 times a week to a zfs NAS. Nas has nightly rsync to cloud storage for each share so I have an exact mirror available if needed. Not the most elegant or streamlined approach, but convenient. Have been thinking of changing the nightly rsync to include zipping everything first to save space.


I also have a VPS running a few cloud services behind traefik. These use wasabi as external storage but I also back up relevant config files to a wasabi s3 bucket once a week as well as full backups of the machines once a week through the VOS provider.

>rented storage
I don't have rented storage, I just keep it on my other house.
You don't have a backup house?

I learned something today.

raspi connected to an 8tb external drive, running rdiff-backup once a week.

I keep my dotfiles and scripts in a git repo that I push to all the time and keep synced across all my laptops because it has the work-tree starting at /, so I can even restore from clean install by using a hard git reset.
I also keep my software projects updated this way, using github private repos now that they're a free feature.

Nothing of value was lost
Remember, backup backups are not free

Oh the new episode is out.

All backups in temp directory.

My gf and I clubbed together for an LTO-6 tape drive.
Whenever one of us can be bothered to load a tape and press the right buttons.

rsync is my friend.

How can poorfags afford backups?
t. filthy poor NEET

backblaze sync every night.

Whoah
Are those higher quality/lower fail percentage storage drives too ( constellations for example)?
Have you gone the full way? Or is it not needed in your opinion

Raid for redundancy
Monthly backup to external drive once a month for the most important shares on the raid, including config files for every server.

100gb M-disks.

I use the poorfag backup solution, pic related.

rsync to an external hard drive

spinning rust passed to a centos vm

Can I create a mirrored vdev zpool on two external USB hard disk drives? The idea is to plug the drives into a computer, backup files and unplug the external disks.

Digital asceticism: i don't have anything saved that i cannot afford to lose :^)

Have a Magical Girlfriend if the image is anything to go by. Failing that, wait for an EasyStore to go on sale and get shucking.

I tarball my entire system onto an external drive.
