Ever since a 1998 burglary, dual-redundant fully-automated offline, local, and cloud backups, with continuous saves of every modified file, have been part of my repertoire. I do it three different ways with three different types of software, including my home-brew rsnapshot-based setup--with encryption throughout to keep prying eyes out. Odds I'll lose /data/ are dramatically lower than that of a typical small/medium business facing a loss event. However, odds that I'll lose massive amounts of /time/ recovering from a lost root volume are 100% every time it happens. Know of any way to create a continuously- (or at least frequently-and-automatically) updated root volume backup? At work, I manage root volumes very differently than at home: using ansible (or in the past, chef), I have a set of tools to take a bare-bones cloud instance of Ubuntu to whatever system role we need. I had that at home circa 2011 but without an army of engineers to maintain it, I found that approach unsustainable. -rich _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
