Eigentlich wollte ich heute mal mit dem Rad eine längere Tour unternehmen, ist mir dann aber doch zu windig. Also werde ich mich stattdessen mal um mein Telefon kümmern und endlich das in die Jahre gekommene /e/-OS (aus irgend einem Grund bekomme ich da seit längerem keine Aktualisierungen mehr ... :undecided: ) gegen tauschen.

Mal schauen, ob ich auf der Checkliste auch wirklich alles beachtet habe damit es danach wieder so funktioniert wie ich es haben möchte :wink: :

  • Fotos sichern
  • Musik ist eh auch auf dem Laptop
  • Daten, Chatverlauf usw. diverser Messenger sichern
  • Syncthing Einstellungen sichern
  • Liste der installierten Apps erstellen und sichern
  • Einstellungen des Launchers sichern
  • Dokumente (inklusive dem Backup Verzeichnis! :wink: ) sichern.
  • Hoffen das ich an alles gedacht habe

What do folks like for Linux offsite backup providers?

I have a Linux desktop with 1-2 TB of data that I want backed up on someone else's servers. I'm currently using Crashplan but my primary use case is data corruption which leads to lost files, and crashplan won't show me a list of recently deleted files that I need to restore. (also they're more business than individual focused now)

Willing to pay, looking for recommendations.

#Leerzeichen in Dateinamen sind böse.
So weit so bekannt.

Zwei Leerzeichen hintereinander in Dateinamen sind noch viel böser. Das musste ich eben lernen...

Also #Band zurückspulen und #Backup neu schreiben...

Remember guys: hosting in the cloud doesn’t mean you don’t need backups: always have backups that are stored with an independent third party!

Hey people,

Did you use a cloud backup provider/storage?

If yes, witch one?

Thanks.

It's not just Google, of course. When you trust your data to ANY #cloud service, you can get rugpulled at any moment without warning. Remember, they have the de-facto control over the data, and you don't.

What I dislike about the Wired story is they focus too much about an AI having screwed up. That's not the real problem here.

The problem is the whole concept of cloud storage: The corporation has full control over your data.

Whether this decision was made by AI or a human doesn't matter at the end.

The solution is simple: Just store your data on your own devices. And make backups. And never trust corporations.

Yeah, the Wired story also failed to brutally mock her for failing to #backup. 😈

Continuing my saga, I’ve set sanoid and syncoid on my nas to properly take snapshots of my datasets and replicate to a different media. Next step is configure restic to make regular backups to the cloud. cc: @augustocc

Wie bekommt man ein #Android dazu Dateien, vorrangig Bilder und Videos auf ein #Samba Share zu laden? Ich hätte sowas unter "Teilen" in der Galerie erwartet aber scheinbar ist das kein unterstütztes Feature...
Jemand eine Idee wie das geht?
Geht generell um #Backup und Netzwerk Zugriff auf die Daten.
Bin dankbar über jeden Hinweis.

What do you use to back up local files from Linux to external hard drive?
I have been using rsnapshot, but maybe there are better solutions out there?
Does anyone have an experience with btrfs and snapshots? Do you trust it?

Yes! Yes! Yes!

As the saying goes, "Real BOFH use tar and rsync!"

The blog article is an excellent treatment of using tar along with SSH to effect a reliable backup plan and schedule.

Another couple of great fav GoTo solutions of mine have always been Duplicity and Duply for those not comfortable rolling their own scripts w/SSH, tar, and/or rsync ​:batman:​

Thank you very much for sharing this @nixCraft !!!

You can haz ! 🍔

I deleted enough images that I was able to create and download an archive. Woot. Worked at 180 MB on my instance.

My Masto account is now backed up!

Well, I've deleted a lot of my media storage. Mostly anything extraneous from the beginning of this year. I am attempting to get another archive, but I'm guessing it won't work because my media storage is 180 MB. It does not work, I will be deleting my images up until April and try again. I've been particularly ruthless with my live photos which become GIFs on this site and take up a lot of storage.

if you want to delete media without search.

  1. Tap media tab on your profile.
  2. Scroll through media thumbnails and click image.
  3. At bottom of displayed image find and tap an icon that looks like an expand button. In the tangerine skin, it looks like a box with an arrow to the upper right.
  4. Edit the post with the media, then delete it or whatev. OR...
  5. If media isn't shown, it may be further down in an associated thread. Scroll until you find it.

Happy time deleting images and video that prevent you from downloading an ActivityPub archive. Beats using has:media search term!

Have you done your backups recently?

Considering to change my #backup solution from #duplicity to #restic (Not sure yet, I like having #pgp keys for encryption, but it's not like a long password stored in #PasswordStore wouldn't cut it). Since restic supports Windows I might try moving a couple relatives onto it; Makes helping them easier if I know the software. For them however, a #GUI is likely a MUST, but what I've found so far is not too encouraging: restatic (dead), npbackup ("metrics" and other assorted niggles), resticguigx (Electron), backrest (browser-based, which makes my skin crawl for security tooling)... Does anyone know other options I missed? Or has some compelling arguments for those I mentioned?
