I don't, but I hope github does :D

Another good thing worth mentioning on s3 is that you can also toss your storage in there into different categories. So for instance if you want to store something you don't /plan/ on really having to retrieve, or access often, you can put it into something like glacier. It's much much much cheaper to store, and you pay a little extra to retrieve if you need.

I really like backing up my code. Not that i do it perfectly (which i dont), but it's a thing that just feels right to do. I also want to say that writing backup scripts can be alot of fun if you are mainly a web dev that want to try other languages.

I find doing the odd simulated restore/panic scenario to be revealing of things I've missed. Usually a lot.

Git and rsync are my backup tools with backups both on site and off site.

I would also recommend an encrypted external drive to keep most important data as an additional backup

I try to follow 3-2-1. Local copy on PC is sync'ed to a self hosted Nextcloud VM running on my hypervisor cluster / storage server combo. This then syncs changed files into an S3 bucket each night. I will be emailed if the process fails. So that is three copies of the data. Two 'on site' but on different media with the third in the cloud. Some as you say is non essential like movies I have ripped from DVD. These just stay local. Files that are essential are in the folders that get sync'ed to the cloud.

Dev related stuff I've always used git to backup shell configurations, as well as a choco config file to reinstall all my windows applications

Too many people I know don't know anything about backups. Sounds like too much trouble for them. At least the modern phone and tablet companies offer easy backups to cloud, so less panicking friends and family when things go wrong :-) I keep a number of backups but not impressed with backing up to the cloud. I find it less secure in the sense of losing accounts, companies closing, etc. Plus I have just had notification that my paid for Google backup account is closing the end of the month due to breaking the terms of use. I have no idea what terms of us I am supposed to have broken, it is purely personal data backup which is well within my allocated limitations. I am trying to find out details from Google but don't hold any hope. Better to invest in more hardware, I think.

I do not regularly backup my data but I hope to do so as it is quite important.

Accidently permanently deleted 1/3 of my main 8TB hard drive, I know, I know, my fault, but Recuva saved my butt. Maybe I should think about monthly backups.

I also have 2 hard drives where I store my most important data. One is at my house and the other is with relatives

Using multiple options. Syncthing between my laptop, server and desktop for my whole project git folders. No ignore files or folders, so my desktop and laptop are exactly the same. Just shutdown the desktop and continue on the laptop with the same active code and projects. Git repositories are also on a server share for pushes, no external cloud dependencies for private projects. Server does automatic backup to Synology NAS and that one does nightly backup to remote Synology NAS at family location. Think I got my backups covered.

Aaaaaay hes back

I back up everything that matters to a local truenas box, but I don't have off-site backups because the only ISP in my neighborhood is the local cable monopoly and upload speeds are about 1/10 download speeds, so it's just too slow to be practical. But if we ever get fiber here I will definitely be doing off-site backups.

So many tools for backup: Restic, Areca, Duplicati, Bacula, Borg … I rely on Onedrive & GIT.

I use a periodic rclone script both to a local NAS and to OneDrive.

bacula is the best, unless you want to use borg

I run restic using cron, and the data goes to BackBlaze

I want to become a engineer like you. Who really knows stuff

Can anyone tell how to connect onedrive and google drive in fedora?? Free option

I rsync manually to offline hard drives once in a while.

Me: *sees the title* Also me: has pretty much all data on either two over 10 years old HDDs or a USB stick, hardly anything is backed up, much of it I wish not to lose Any time I think about it, I get anxiety, while I laugh nervously 😂

I’m lazy. I just go with whatever GCP has. And all my deploy confits are in a private GitHub repo.

Rsync on 2 drives plus

Every night I back up all my data locally, then I rsync it off-site to an encrypted drive at a family member's house.

*tsk* Noice video :)

I use rclone and encrypt all cloud backups

usually people start thinking about backups when it's too late 😂

I save projects on Gitlab. I use a time machine to back up a specified disk where I store my projects and personal files. I do not know why, but the size of my personal files (excluding photos) is a total of 4GB, so at the moment I do not need a fancy backup solution.

I just lost 3 months of progress because my backup drive failed. 😢

Is it just me or is the audio clipping?

Dear Sir. Can I work for you,

No, but I do routinely back up my data.

I have lost hard drives several times over the years. So I don't back up my data, I back up my entire system. My goal is to be able to restore to bare hardware. For the last ten years of so, I've been running everything in VMs, and for backups I simply copy the VHDs onto removable drives. Each disk has room for two sets, which I overwrite each night alternates. And I have four disks, one in the drive, one in my desk, one in my car, and one offsite. I've restored from these backups several times, for one reason or another. One thing I cannot stress enough - if you've never done a restore, you're not really doing backups.

dude making a video of you talking in the corner of a picture must be damn difficult, make some effort to raise your content's lvl

0:24 lol stop the bullshit, majority of people: no
