@cwebber I have Bacula set up to run nightly backups on the house computers. It's finicky and if the backup drive isn't mounted then things get messy, but most of the time it just works.
@cwebber daily for most critical things otherwise weekly and always using the 3-2-1 rule.
@cwebber automatic, continuous, encrypted and in two locations. i'm a bit paranoid about it lol. so i guess my answer would be "constantly".
@cwebber Every night. Local snapshots, copied to a remote machine.
(Yes, I'm insufferable, I know. But I learned that lesson 25 years ago).
@cwebber I had to get a drive forensically recovered a decade or so ago and learned my lesson the hard way. restic for the win!
@cwebber Today. 5 minutes ago.
@cwebber "of what" is the question that pops up for me.
We have SyncThing for work-files (so every machine serves as a backup for a lot of stuff), but backups of external servers have fallen by the wayside as I try to work out systems to make that back into something I can actually keep up with...
@cwebber this month! right after a crash! 🙃
@cwebber if i was honest for my entire life i have never done that
@cwebber today at 0734
@cwebber another option should be "what is a backup"
@cwebber bold of you to assume I can afford enough storage to have backups 😎
