Hat jemand da draussen eine „Wunder-Lösung“ (ohne mühsame Bastelei) für Backups eines Debian 13 auf ein Synology NAS?

rsync und Timeshift konnten mich bisher nicht wirklich überzeugen.

The internet just made a 300TB copy of Spotify! (Updated: Spotify reaction)

Nearly all of Spotify has been scraped, and it's already on torrents.

Doing a quick cluster check mid-holidays, just to make sure everything is working

PocketID's database cluster fails to backup, and 1/3 replica is currently down/stuck rebuilding

The question of the night: Will it survive until I make it back home and have some time for it ?!

Grr. I have finally set up regular offsite backups, and now deja-dup simply won't remember my username and password.

Any hints? I'm on Debian 13, with deja-dup v45.2.

Suppose a chap had two times 240gb SSD in his server, configured under Linux LVM to work as one larger drive of 480gb... suppose he wanted to back 'the lot' up to a much larger single (USB external) drive so that in the event of a serious system failure all would not be lost... if the server had a single drive then he'd just take a normal disk image but is that viable with the two drives configured as one? #linux #backup

I know I've said this before but I think I've finally found the sweet spot for #AV1 encoding for preserving my media. This setting seems to preserve film grain and everything. I essentially turned it up to preset 3, crf 20 and replaced all the film grain synthesis options and such I've been trying with just variance boost, since that's what's in the default "Super HQ AV1" profile that comes with Handbrake.

I filmed with my phone to hopefully make sure y'all can see what I'm seeing.

Ich habe einen Restic-Backup-Konfigurator gebaut – die Einstellungen werden im Browser gespeichert.
Ihr könnt dort alles konfigurieren und braucht dann nur noch den fertigen Befehl zu kopieren.
Ist aber noch nicht ganz fertig; war ursprünglich hauptsächlich für mich privat gedacht, weil ich keine Lust hatte, die Befehle ständig raussuchen zu müssen.
Einfach mal ausprobieren:

It is about how this Mastodon instance is backed up daily without downtime =)

There is a rule that you should regularly test restoring your #backups.

Do you have any processes/recommendations to do this in an automated(!) way? For more machines? Ideally w/ @restic?

What does "restore works" mean for you? Backup repository integrity checks? Successfully extracting a certain subset of files? Extracting all files (which takes quite some time/disk space)? Comparing checksums/contents of certain files? (But what about newer versions on the backup source?)

Hey @jwildeboer 👋🏻 I'm curious if you have written about the backup strategy for your home lab somewhere?

#homelab #backup @homelab_de

I recently discover the usage of upgrade.site (https://man.openbsd.org/install.site.5) and I decided to implement an auto-upgrade process for my two VMs hosted at @OpenBSDAms

But, since I need to ensure it works, I'm testing borgmatic as a backup solution :) #openbsd #doyourbackups #backup

My backup is down.

How timely, I have just been trying to backup priceless footage shot for a music video for a song where "my backup is down" is spelled out verbatim.

While I wait for a reply from Btrfs mailing list, I am tempted to buy a bigger drive. Like a 20 TB one.

But then I'd really need two to have redundancy, and that would be a tad bit crazy...

If you missed my "announcement" about the music video, here it is:

"Untested backups are just expensive hopes and dreams."

Did some proper restore-tests of my offsite backups and restored them one after another into a local virtual machine (KVM) and verified that they decrypt, restore and boot correctly 🙂 (including our Mastodon instance burningboard.net)

It's good to have backups, but it's an even better feeling when you know, they work, restore correctly and the procedure has been tested.

All check marks green, next test in January 2026 🙂

Time for the weekly sunday-backup of my home-server:

1. Plug USB HDD
2. zpool import zusb
3. zfs snapshot -r zroot@backup-$(date +%Y%m%d)
4. zfs send -R zroot@backup-$(date +%Y%m%d) | zfs receive -o mountpoint=none zusb/backup_zroot
5. zpool export zusb
6. Unplug HDD

List of files in the ~/downloads/backups/ catalog. There are some *.tar.zst files with backups made by tar. And some *.tar.zst.md5 files with MD5 sums in it. Overall size of catalog is 5.9 Gb.

La dernière version de BackupPC date de 2020, le logiciel est vieillissant. En 2025, y a quoi comme alternative équivalente en terme de fonctionnalités ? #Sauvegarde #Backup

And the tool I found necessitates the source instance to,be online and doesn't allow using like a #backup file...

And the Fortune said;

RAID is not a backup
The cloud ☁️ is also not a backup!

Tar is a backup Bacula and ZFS with proper hardware configuration also.

Even just `tar -cvfz` would be great with the tar dumped on HDD off site.

WTF Korea now the millions of vital records are gone :(

The damage of this is incalculable

The battery appears to be composed of multiple rectangular modules, heavily charred and exhibiting signs of extreme heat damage. A person’s leg wearing blue jeans and a black shoe is visible on the right side of the frame. The image is accompanied by text that reads: “Officials move a burnt battery at the National Information Service (NIRS) in Daejeon on Sept. 27.” Additionally, there is text at the top of the image: “NIRS fire destroys government’s cloud storage system, no backups available.” Published: 01 Oct. 2025, 17:59 is at the bottom.

Bonjour le pouetiverse !

Je suis à la recherche d'un logiciel #Linux pour faire des backups de fichiers, qui comporterait une feature particulière : pouvoir "archiver" (ou plutôt ghost ?) des fichiers et répertoires. Je m'explique : pouvoir supprimer le fichier/répertoire du disque tout en y gardant une trace du fichier (nom, emplacement), restaurable facilement depuis la #backup quand nécessaire.
Idéalement bien intégré avec Nautilus.

Des pistes ?

The feeling when the last successful thing you did on the filesystem before it broke was pushing your work for an important project to a git server...

Phew.

Also - good I have recent backup so I can recover everything else.

I’m looking for an app (ideally on Linux) that can scan a local SMB network periodically, pick all shared files and create an incremental backup. Is there such a thing ?

In a perfect world, this could upload an encrypted copy onto an external storage (OneDrive, Google Drive, whatever) and there would be a way to get back N days in time, because shit happens.

Boosts appreciated. :-)

#SysAdmin #backup

@matrix just an idea to improve backups:

Make exponential backoff like backups: last month, months 2-3 ago, mos 4-6 ago, 7-12moa, 2-3ya, etc. Or with N messages instead of N days.

Sounds like you could recover the fresher data first, then catch up, then restore backwards.
