>back up

A true edgy /g/entoman lives on the limit, no backups.

Also install gentoo.

[urmom@gentoo] cp /* 192.168.1.44/bup/

>>55841759
Cronjob or just manually every now and then? Also do you actually just cp or do you use rsync

gentoo

drag and drop

An SSD that I got on sale. it just werks. I back up every 6 weeks.

Sftp server

I don't have enough HDD space to really back up everything. If it's important I just copy it on to other drives in my computer.

I'm thinking of building a backup server using RAID 5 for this (I don't want to buy enough drives for RAID 6). Could be fun.

SSH file server

an external HDD I got for Xmas. Works well. Backup every few weeks when I remember.

fsarchiver. Bonus, use lvm to snapshot, so i can back up a mounted partition.

I haven't done it yet (currently using genisoimage to manually make backup isos then I copy them to a DVD), but I plan on creating a separate server (Ubuntu) and using rsync.

I tar everything and use dropbox.

RAID

>>55843123
Redundancy is not the same as backup.

>>55843166
that is the joke

>>55843176
I didn't get it, can you explain?

>>55843196
assuming you are not trying to troll
RAID IS NEVER A REPLACMENT FOR A BACKUP
The point of RAID is to have high availability of data
if a HDD dies, then you may be able to rebuild it and recover from the loss
or a second (or third) HDD might die and then you lose all the data anyways
Also, RAID does not prevent again
- corruption
- deleting something you didn't mean too
- hackers deleting things
- complete system failure

Backups let you recover from these things if done properly

>>55843223
I know RAID clearly, but I meant I didn't understand the joke. Can you explain the joke?

Finally have space for a backup, what's the best way to create a backup?

>>55843254
The joke is YOU.

private trackers

Basically this, for me. I don't have anything on my desktop (all user folders automatically mounted on the server at login), so my server handles everything. I crontab cp. I have multiple drives (single partition) mounted for different storage types, so I had to build an identical array and use multiple cronjobs for them. 2 for each drive. I also did an analysis of server traffic over a few months to determine the best low-traffic time to run them (multi-user household).

>>55840693
install gentoo

>>55840693
I have my own home server that i host files on.

Copy and paste files over to an external hdd

an nfs mount, dd and crontab

kill self
