How often do you plan to do backups? Continuously or periodically?
- xrd 3y agoVery, very, very infrequently. These are VMs that I will upload once and then not think about them for years in case my local machines die.
- sgc 3y agoIn which case a hdd + bank deposit box might be cheaper than other solutions.
- Dalewyn 3y agoBuy a HDD, backup to it, then put the HDD in a safe deposit box at your bank.
- activiation 3y agoA few years old VM might break when you update it if you ever have to restore it.
- electroly 3y agoYou know your requirements better than we do, but at first glance this appears to be a mistake. You can see what's going to happen: when you go to restore the years-old VM backup, everything is so out of date that it doesn't work and the updates fail. "Do it once and forget about it for years" is essentially always a mistake with backups.
