It's 8 AM. Do you know where your data is? Always have a plan.
I recently switched to a TrueNAS system that I back everything up to. It uploads to B2 daily with remote encryption. Keys and passwords are kept in a keepass database on my phone and computers. I've done test pulls as a fire drill. I don't have $500 M in crypto. I don't even have $5 k in crypto.
- ceejayoz 5y ago> It's 8 AM, do you know where your data is? Always have a plan. Sure, but a significant portion of the problem is that's not the real question. "It's 8 AM, do you know how important your data will be in ten years?"
- koolba 5y agoMake sure you can’t overwrite the remote site. It’s not a true offsite backup if the source can issue a delete or replace command.
- willis936 5y agoI have immutable snapshots on B2 with a few week lifetime. It is the weakest point, but I'd have to do something very dumb and not realize it within that period. I could extend that period, but it costs more in exchange for trusting myself less. Edit: actually I just checked and I had left the default lifecycle rules (keep all versions). The bill is still less than a dropbox personal bill for my modest usage.
- ClumsyPilot 5y agoIts 8 AM. Do you know where your fire extinguisher is? How to do first aid? What to do in a flood? Earthquake? Home break-in? If your bank goes insolvent, and you are so cashless you can't even buy a meal? Most people aren't prepared for emergencies really, and dats one is not even at the top
