Does anyone have any good backup solutions to mitigate this? My agency uses a script we wrote in-house to more-or-less rsync our data to an AWS instance, but it's always seemed a poor way to handle it. I'm using DO's backup service for my personal site which was always supposed to be a temporary solution (the timing of the backups is inconvenient as mentioned by the article).
A better solution would be wonderful.
- lobster_johnson 11y agoWe use Backupninja to drive backups, mostly Duplicity against S3. Some things, like Postgres dumps, are custom commands that just upload individual files to S3. The reason you want to wrap things in Backupninja is to centralize logging, scheduling and monitoring. Note that we only back up specific things like databases, logs (central syslog server) and data directories. We use Puppet to configure our boxes, and consider everything to be expendable that isn't data.
- chrismartin 11y agoThis isn't exactly turnkey but for my personal servers, I use rsync.net (ask for the HN discount) and attic [0]. It's easy to script and call with cron. (Of course, this is still somewhat DIY, and any backup solution is only as good as your monitoring + restore testing.) [0] https://attic-backup.org/ https://attic-backup.org/
