Since this post brought up the issue of backups, what do people use these days? I don't admin any servers at the moment, but when I did have a few side projects running I was a fan of HashBackup.
- TomK32 8y agoborg. proper open source unlike HashBackup.
- zaarn 8y agorestic has been very reliable in my experience.
- zie 8y agoTarsnap: https://www.tarsnap.com/ https://www.tarsnap.com/ It's a bit expensive for TONS of data, so it's not a great solution for your large video collection, Amazon Glacier or something of that sort for the larger data. But for critical data, it can't be beat.
- gmiller123456 8y agoI use MySQLdump, tar, and sftp to store the files I need on another server. I know everyone's needs are different, but I would avoid any type of 3rd party/complex backup system. If you have to install some tool to restore your backup, you run the possibility of that tool becoming unavailable, or incompatible with your backups. Sticking to tools that have been around for a long time, and have multiple implementations mitigates that as a concern.
