So. What is your backup strategy?

>>60387296
Shadow copy on nas and airgapped on external hdd

All my important files are on a 256gb SSD sitting in my case but unconnected. I also have an older 1tb drive that used to be my main one which I use for a second backup of my important stuff, as well as a lot of less important shit. This is also in my case but disconnected.

None desu

I have installed a giant magnet that covers all of my house, so if I hear the FUCKO, I flip a switch and turn on the magnet

>>60387296

Balance of utility and cost.

1x6b drive in 3 partitions. Normal data on 1 partition 1. Remaining two partitions are in Raid formation and shadow copy what's on the first partition.

Lower costs, greater utility in perfect balance

>>60387296
Why does roomba have a gun?

I copy/paste stuff occasionally to a drive labelled "backup" on my server. I also copy it to another drive labelled "backup" on my desktop machine.

Pleb backup strategy basically, I can't be bothered figuring out anything cleverer.

run rsync every 6 months when I remember to connect my HDD.

this tbqh senpai.
Also every now and then strg + c & strg + v on an external HDD

Time Machine to a FreeNAS server and then that serb makes backups of the backups.

That way if my shit every gets fucked and the virus also encrypts my backups, I can restore from the backed up backups :)

I don't read Nazi what does that say?

>>60388327
It is the built in ubuntu backup. It creates a backup of /home and puts it onto an extra HDD

>>60387296
I have four hdd.
Two are in the computer, current media and a weekly copy.
One hdd sitting on the shelf, copy every few months.
One hdd sitting in locker at work, gets swapped around same time I bother to make a copy.

>>60388402
>One sitting in locker at work

This actually isn't a bad idea. I might get a second SSD and stick it in my deposit box. Thanks for the idea, a flood or fire is no excuse for throwing your hands up in the air.

I store almost everything on OneDrive.

My computer has two hard drives, one for the system and home folder, and the other one is for files that I use on a regular basis. At the and of the day, I do a backup of the modified files in my home directory to the other drive. At the end of the month, I backup everything on two encrypted, external HDDs. One of them stays at my home, and the other one is locked away at a relative in case of theft / natural disasters. Moreover, I upload the most important files on my Google Drive encrypted with AES-256.

How hard is it to format and reclone a spare HDD once a month? Do it while fapping. You won't need the performance, and the extra fan noise will help hide the grunts from your mother.

Deja-Dup weekly backup to NFS
vzdump on hypervisor to NFS

>>60387296
Well OP, when it really comes down to, after doing a lot of soul searching, there's hardly any data I consider worth keeping. Basically it's just old photos, and some programming projects I might want to root around in one day.

It's all in an encrypted container and uploaded to various places, plus there are a few copies on physical media. I rarely add to it, maybe twice a year, so maintaining it is very low effort.

If I had to regularly back up a heap of important data I don't know what the fuck I would do. Sit and cry, probably.

>>60388654
My most important files don't involve japanese cartoon girls like most of you, so I need the best and also I have nothing to hide. Enjoy manually backing up shit retard ;)

>>60388892
home machine is mostly music
work machine has a external mirror

for most people a format is little more than a short inconvenience. big business spending billions on shit IT literally isn't my problem.

whats the cheapest freeNas server i could build?

>>60389210
what do you back up?

My most important things are on a thumb drive and the Google botnet. I don't have TBs of Japanimation shit to save.

Layered.
Several hdds
Second machine
Nas
Workplace server
Rented storage server

I'm doing my first serious backup from my nas (only archive) right now, compressing everything (video, pics, photos) and for a low quality copy, then I plan to put everything on DL DVDs in a bag in a closet.
I'm going down from 1.5TB to probably 300GB, from now on I plan to do this every month and everytkme I do something important

>>60387296

the cloud

>>60387296
being worthless shit with nothing worth backing up

>>60387296
I've got copies of anything I can't afford to lose on an external drive, which sits unplugged unless I need to add new backup to it.

At home it's a raid and an external when I bother to remember.

At work it's dailies on a separate server and quarterlies on a standalone HDD that I throw in a drawer for 7 years

>>60387296
Linux with ext4 fs and use testdisk when my drives fail.

This might be a better place to ask, assuming there are some people here who use Windows at least.
>>60386393

Basically, how does WBadmin deal with me being stupid.

>>60389840
Why the fuck would you compress media files? Do you store them in .bmp or what?

>>60387296
>soon.

>>60387296
No backups, if shit's fucked, format everything into oblivion, I'm too lazy to organize my storage and there's nothing that important.

>>60390543
If it's not important, then why have it?

a tipical DSLR video is around 50mbps, more with newer cameras (80/90), i can do less with magic lantern (25 for undistinguishable quality, obv no color correction). 5mpbs is enough for backup archives

a tipical DSLR picture is about 1 MB/Mp in Raw and a quarter of that for high quality JPEG. 3Mp at 70% jpeg compression is enough for prints to me, i still have a good picture.

My Zoom records audio at a GB/hour but mp3 240kbps still works.

i'm trying to save money for my DVD time capsule

Emergency boot drives in a fire and EMP proof safe.

>>60390876
Why on earth would you bother doing that for such a small amount of data? Just buy one or two 2 TB external hard drives. The risk of your offline back-up failing at the same time as your on-line storage is minimal.

>>60391223
Perhaps the content they wish to archive isn't safe to put into online storage.

>>60391223
i'm a poor videomaking student that barely earn 100€ a day when i'm lucky enough, so let's say 300€/month during a year, and with that i've to help my parents with my rent and life cost and buy other essential equipment if needed.

right now i've a 2TB HDD which is almost full and thinking about the future i need another drive and a backup for this one and the next, given that i need WD Red drives (90€ each here) that is 270€, i'm not paying for that.

i've also a CPU and a bunch of empty disks so here's the alternative

>>60391429
On-line as in his NAS.

>>60391468
You don't need a fucking WD Red for an off-line back-up.

>>60387437
Your compter case is a ferris cage so that wouldn't work

I manually back up my files when I remember to, which isn't too regularly. I feel like I'm living life a little dangerously as my primary drive might die soon.

Have fun losing your data due to DVD degradation :^)

i started with the 3-2-1 backup strategy after the Fosshub Classic Start Menu hack deleted my 3TB worth of paid premium porn

>>60391625
green ones are slightly cheaper (like 10€ less) so at that point i'm better go with the better ones
>>60391724
i don't know, they're going to be stuck in a closet for years, for things that i mostly don't care about... right now with my single HDD if that's gone i'm fucked and when i was younger i already went through that shit

At least 3 copies of my data. I know you are too poor to implement such a system.

Simple. I back everything up a few hours before I get a virus.

Dropbox

I handwrite every 0 and 1 of all my data in a journal which I keep hidden under my floorboard. Digitally stored data is never safe, doesn't matter if you have 10 harddrives, they can all get wiped by a solar event or magnetic shift in an instant.

>>60391789
You don't understand. For an off-line backup, you buy the cheapest external hard drive you can find. It'll amount to about twenty hours of runtime in its entire life, it doesn't need to be high quality at all.

What matters is the risk of all your storage failing at the same time. By having ANY kind of off-line redundancy, you become so safe as to be able to run the shittiest trash drives in the world. The risk of your on-line and off-line storage failing at once is abysmal.

>>60391833
>House burns down
What do?

What backup tool should I use if I want
1) Periodically backup my data from certain folders
2) encrypt it and upload it to Google Drive / S3 / Azure

What does /g/ use for that?

I'm not in a mood to setup NAS or RAID.

>>60391833
Just put your most important drives in a Faraday container ffa

>>60391833
can't you print them?

It's a bit expensive at around $1 per GB, not counting toner, but I'm sure there's cheaper paper options out there.

Here's a picture of 15GB of data.

>>60392121
Quite worth it for the most important douments, like legal stuff

>>60392160
>for the most important douments

>documents

If only there were some other way to store such things using paper.

>>60391628
Faraday. You're looking for Faraday. That applies to electric fields but not quite magnetic fields.

>>60392237
>not creating an encrypted file container, putting your legal docs in that and printing that out with paperback

WITH AMD MEGA TASKING I ONLY MOVE FORWARD. THREADING RIPPING FORWARD NEVER BACKING UP

>>60387296
I've got AMANDA running on an Atom C2750 server remotely backing up copies of all the files in my network in isolated containers and my Xeon D-1521 file server saves copies of clean OS images from all of my computers as well as original copies of all important files in their own separate jails. The AMANDA server also backs up the NAS jails in their own container.
