rsnapshot + automysqlbackup + crontab makes for a  very robust & repeatable
backup system.

[RDD] Back Up solutions (Slightly OT?)

2021-10-15 Thread Rich Gattie 
Hello List!

I was thinking to myself, "Self! We really need to come up with a better
backup solution!"
Currently I just do a copy of /var/snd to a folder on an external drive,
and then do the SQL backup in Rivendell, copying that to another folder on
the external drive.

I know I should have something a little more robust than that. But I was
curious what would some of you recommend for something simple and automatic?
Am I better off with a shell script that does what I am doing? Or maybe one
of the many open source projects that does back ups?

Thanks in advance.

It’s always good practice to start with a new install when moving from a beta 
to a production setup. That’s because the beta setups are testing not only 
Rivendell but the installer system itself. Sometimes significant issu are found 
in those as well. (See https://github.com/ElvishArtisan/rivendell/issues/737 
for a current example).

And, of course the new UbuntuStudio support opens up options for “in-place” 
major distro upgrades. I haven’t even started experimenting with that yet.

Cheers!
