A few days ago a livecaster accidentally burned down a large part of his house (https://youtu.be/82UsZ44AxIA?t=290 https://youtu.be/82UsZ44AxIA?t=290). Besides buying a fire extinguisher, that got me thinking I should have remote backups. So far I've been only using Time Machine to back up to an external disk in another room.
Somehow I'd like to have a periodic whole disk image of my mac that could be downloaded and mounted on a new computer as-is. Currently investigating if I could use Carbon Copy Cloner to do a weekly bootable disk clone and then have that be uploaded to Dropbox.
CCC creates a huge directory called "Macintosh HD.sparsebundle". Not sure if that's really mountable or if syncing it to Dropbox will be practical.

Edit: It seems perfect: http://blog.fosketts.net/2011/07/05/mac-dropbox-encrypted-volume/ http://blog.fosketts.net/2011/07/05/mac-dropbox-encrypted-vo... The closest for Linux would be ecryptfs, but I'm not sure if it splits images up.

- zyxley 11y agoThe part of that whole affair that's simultaneously hilarious and incredibly sad is that the guy literally couldn't have tried harder to make that fire grow. He gave it kindling doused in lighter fuel, then he gave it more kindling and wood to burn, then he literally fanned the flames. Not to say that having a fire extinguisher is a bad idea, but in that guy's case doing literally almost anything other than what he did could have saved his house.
