mk<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://ruhr.social/@wortezimmer" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>wortezimmer</span></a></span> Nach meiner Erfahrung, die ich vor wenigen Monaten machte, kommt es auf den Einsatzzweck der ext. FP an. Ich nutze z.B. <a href="https://social.bau-ha.us/tags/vorta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>vorta</span></a> (<a href="https://social.bau-ha.us/tags/borgbackup" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>borgbackup</span></a>) für die Datensicherung. Diese Software setzt allerdings ein gängiges Linux Dateisystem wie ext4 voraus Also hatte ich meine ext. FP von FAT32 auf ext4 umformatiert. Andere Backup Programme wie <a href="https://social.bau-ha.us/tags/duplicati2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>duplicati2</span></a> können auch mit anderen D.systemen wie extFAT oder NTFS umgehen. Welches Backupprogramm möchtest du verwenden?Oder gehts nur um's Umkopieren?</p>

Hmm. Second time this has happened now, the #Nextcloud #Borgbackup container seems to go into a loop or other non-exiting condition causing the server to not come back up (hah) from the scheduled backup task.

Last time I just skipped it. The question is, is this the time where I actually debug the cause ...

@Anachron #borgBackup is amazing, indeed. For the regular restore check I'm not there yet to have it automated, but I already have a service that regularly checks if the actual list of backups have happened at the planned intervals and sends me an email if it doesn't.

Next up will be to actually restore some files from backups and check them.

(insert random mumble about how nice :nixos: #NixOS makes this here)

@eliasp Thanks for the tip. #Restic Backup restic.net/ seems interesting.

The #NixOS wiki has a page on #BorgBackup - wiki.nixos.org/wiki/Borg_backu, which sounds like a really interesting way to do backups, but because I'm new to it, I haven't set it up yet. I'm used to Déjà Dup apps.gnome.org/DejaDup/ , but was never happy with it, so didn't set out up either. I suppose I've let better be the enemy of good.

Maybe this third choice can serve as a tie breaker 😆

restic.netrestic · Backups done right!

ich hab heute meine #nextcloud erfolgreich auf einen neuen server migriert :blobcathearts:

es ist so erleichternd zu sehen, dass mein #borgbackup scheinbar funktioniert. spannend war nur die TTL des #dns eintrags, aber jetzt ist alles durch 🎉

bald folgen dann meine anderen services, schön in ruhe :blobcatjustright:
