Seriously, why are #LTO9 drives so expensive?
I know why we don't have these in regular desktops but c'mon...

The Velero backups are working except for the CephFS volumes 
I have no idea why it just throws timeout errors but I can create a manual snapshot which doesn't take that long?
I'm so close to getting past this step but I'm not exactly where to look next
#Kubernetes #Velero #Ceph #Backups
Due to a #database error and its recovery we were unfortunately offline for a few days.
Sorry for the inconvenience, as the #backups have also been down since 21. June were also affected, we are now back to the previous status. "It sucks". (Mr Smith, In "Matrix".
Restic backup is tonight's presentation @PLUG in Phoenix, AZ
We start at 19:00, but please arrive early due to building access
a true cross platform system that allows performing classic full and differential backups.

Backups done right!

@erice personally I do wished #LTO tape drives were cheaper for #backups...

How #Signal, #WhatsApp, #Apple, and #Google Handle Encrypted Chat #Backups
End-to-end encrypted chat apps are a wonderful tool for communicating safely and privately, but backups are always going to be a contentious part of how they work.

A salutary reminder from work Slack: important backups (including recovery codes) should be stored in more than one location.

Indeed.
Back In The Day, I used to sell and install hard drives in computers. The boss had gotten a deal on some slightly sketchy previous-generation disks - ancient Seagate (IIRC) 20MB drives (MFM interface! State of the art at the time was 60MB RLL disks, by Toshiba I think). Those felt spacious in an age of 808[68] computers.
I didn't get my first hard disk until my second Amiga, an A3000. I paid $1,800 for a 540MB drive. In terms of minimum wage at the time, that was about ten weeks of full-time work, before deductions.
My point? I'm with you. It boggles my mind that so many people still trust their data to "the cloud", which as you say is just "someone else's computer", even with the constant stories of accounts suddenly closed without recourse, credentials lost, cloud providers deleting files, and on and on. Storage is dirt cheap these days. At least keep a copy of everything - and I mean everything - on storage media that you own and physically possess.
There's a saying that there are two kinds of computing people: those who have experienced a data-loss incident, and those that will experience a data-loss incident.

@VanuPhantom The fact that #Atlassian killed any #OnPremise / #SelfHosting plans for #Jira et. al whilst simultaneously fucking up their own #backups makes me hate it almost as much as everything #Microsoft & #NSAbook release!
Signal is currently testing 'cloud' backups with the staging version of the Android app.
Details:
- Fully end-to-end encrypted (duh),
- Free and paid tiers - free supports unlimited messages and media up to 45 days, paid is $1,99/mo for 100GB,
- This does NOT replace the local backup.
In fact, the local backup is getting a revamp too! 
It will gain cross-platform support (iOS <=> Android), changed format (taking seconds rather than minutes) and external syncing tools (like Nextcloud) will be faster too.
#Signal bietet jetzt #Cloud #Backups an! Mit einem Verschlüsselungskey, denn die #SignalApp selber generiert! "Ja, nee, is klar!" Ein Backup ist nur dann wirklich sicher, wenn der User selber sein Verschlüsselungspasswort festlegen kann. So wie bei #Threema inkl. einer Mindestlänge!
#Signal bekommt E2E-verschlüsselte Cloud-Backups, die man nun unter #Android testen kann: https://community.signalusers.org/t/public-signal-backups-testing/
Die neuen #Backups sollen dann übrigens auch dann auch plattformübergreifend nutzbar sein, was auch endlich den Umzug der Chatinhalte zwischen Android und iOS ermöglicht.
Auch lokale Backups sollen deutlich besser werden. Bleibt zu hoffen, dass sie dann endlich inkrementell funktionieren.

Ich habe da 100 Mbit/s mit 1 Gbit/s verwechselt - wohl, weil das alte NAS trotz 1 Gbit-Nic so leistungsschwach ist, dass nie mehr als 5-10 Mbit/s übertragen wurden.
Bei den Daten ist nichts redundant bzw. nur in Form von #Hardlinks von den mehrstufigen #Backups mit #BackInTime. Viel sind halt auch Medien (Bilder, Musik, Videos/PVR Aufnahmen).
It's hard to believe that such a prestigious research facility didn't maintain offsite backups of their documentation (data, experiment technical references and reports, etc.).
The IT manager in me is appalled at the idea that no one was responsible for creating and maintaining off-site backups. Hopefully, the story is written for emotional effect and omitting relevant information.

Just replaced a drive in my backup netbook and started it resilvering :-) Fortunately the hardest part (figuring out which drive was broken) was made trivial because one of the drives had an angry red LED on it.
#ZFS / #backups nerds - should I pause backups for 4 days while it resilvers or can I just let it go?

Das Entscheidendste ist natürlich, dass das #Datengrab und die #Backups der #Rechner in eimem verschlüsselten #Volume / #Partition liegen.
Grundsätzlich will ich #Proxmox und die VMs auf die M.2 packen und die beiden HDs an die VM mit z.B. #TrueNAS als Datenspeicher durchreichen. Ich habe TrueNAS noch nicht verwendet, aber wenn ich aus den HDs unter Proxmox ein RAIDZ 1 machen, dieses dann TrueNAS als Datenspeicher zur Verfügung stellen kann und TrueNAS darin ein LUKS verschlüsseltes Volume machen kann, wäre das ok und easy.
