Redundant drives to external hdd and blu ray discs, I wish tape was cheaper

>create folder with encfs

Synology DS 216+ II, one of my best tech purchases.

all important data backed up to an internal hdd + external hdd every week, once every month offsite

Who hurt you, anon?

>TFW I live dangerously, with my only backup sitting inside my system

>>59274175
I lost hundreds of photos and literally hundreds of hours of lecture recordings.

Also lost my 4chan collection and some other stuff.

HD failure is God's way of telling you to freshen your reaction face folder.

Cannot back up since I don't have the money for another disk and my 1Tb one has 9,5Gb remaining.

>>59272716
I can't even get new storage you negro

What's your favorite backup method? I was thinking about getting a 10tb HDD and copy to it via an automated bash script. Any tips?

>>59275085
>not backing up to RAID6 with hot spare

Do you even care about your data?

>>59275085
Look into duplicity and the GUI for it, deja-dup.

>>59274429
>tfw don"t even bother backing up at all

>>59275268
Utter crap. Just is rsync with the --delete and -aP flags in a script.

Mega.nz

>>59274210
github. They doesen't restrict size of """"code"""" you can store on. Also pay 7$/yr if you want private repo or just encrypt everything yourself lol.

>>59275085
NAS with a 3TB btrfs raid0. It's enough for all my important stuff, I don't hoard much.

I have no space left on any of my drives to back things up with. If anything fails I'll just sudoku, desu.

>tfw too late

>>59272716

I only backup photos and code i created.

Honestly everything else you can get again without much problem.

>>59274757
What was the failure mode? Drive corruption? Accidental format?

>>59272716
I use Time Machine to a 3TB external HDD. It's not a perfect setup, I need to set up cloud backup too.

>Backing up

If my data dies it was meant to be and I just start anew. Impermanence is the nature of the Universe. It is not my place to play God and prevent the natural process of death. You play with powers beyond your control.

There is nothing on my PC I couldn't live without. The biggest annoyances would be losing my bookmarks of useful-but-hard-to-find websites, my configuration files, my collection of rare pepes, and my résumés / cover letters (of which there are copies in my email attachments).

After your first loss, you never forget.

I do cloud backup, it's easy as fuck (inb4 botnet)

>>59276652
You are a strange man, but I like your style

It's also a good idea to keep important stuff in a secure location.

Offsite backups saved the day after entire place burnt down.

i never back up

OP, all is not lost if the drive is not destroyed or physically compromised.

You can try a recovery program, like photorec.

If you need to recover some important text files, do some physical disk searches using a hex editor.

Just managed to recover from some data loss myself a few days ago.

Text is definitely doable. Images may be too scattered to recover.

Timely as fuck, anon.
My laptop's HDD cable died last week, and I thought it was the drive itself.
It'll be at least a week before the new part gets here. I'm gonna pick up a USB-SATA cable in the meantime.

What's a sensible backup solution for laptops? Both Windows and OSX. How many backups do you need?

>>59277973
I just use the built in Windows System Image tool, might not be the smartest, fastest or easier to recover from but it werks for my needs.

Nothing good in the past.

Dropped it in the bathtub

thank you for the reminder, despair frog of sadness.

you are my greatest ally.

Crashplan user here. Backs up everything to a drive, plus to the cloud.

>useful-but-hard-to-find websites, my configuration files
Those two things are probably the worst things to lose.
