Ask HN: Gmail Outage - how do you deal with it. Do you backup?
Gmail is currently down here in South America, and it has been experiencing service disruptions globally.
How do you deal with it (especially if your startup or company depends on email)? Do you have backup accounts? Do you backup your email? Any tips?
- i404 13y agoRaspberry Pi local homeserver as 1st stop for your e-mail (working as some type of backup), and then auto-forward incoming emails from the rPI-mailserver to your main gmail inbox? That way you will get all emails even during gmail outage, aswell as having a backup of every single mail safely "at home" ... a quick thought.
- autotravis 13y agoExactly. Backing up my gmail with my Pi was the first thing I wrote about here: http://magnatecha.com/things-i-do-with-my-raspberry-pi/ http://magnatecha.com/things-i-do-with-my-raspberry-pi/ I can do a quick check/search with mutt from the the Pi.
