Make exponential backoff like backups: last month, months 2-3 ago, mos 4-6 ago, 7-12moa, 2-3ya, etc. Or with N messages instead of N days.

Sounds like you could recover the fresher data first, then catch up, then restore backwards.

Hi, fedi! I'm crawling out of my hermit hole to share my new app, TumblBee, with you all 🐝

https://lilacpixel.itch.io/tumblbee

TumblBee is a pay-what-you-want cross-platform app for exporting your original #Tumblr posts (and pages) to Markdown or HTML. Back up your content and browse it locally, or export to Markdown and drop your posts into your favorite static site generator. (There's even a guide to exporting for Obsidian, if that's your thing.)

If you decide to give it a try, I'd love to hear about it! Boosts are, as always, hugely appreciated 💕 Thanks so much!

Mich würde interessieren, wie Ihr eure Docker-Backups macht.

Mich interessiert dabei vor allem, dass die Konsistenz der Daten sauber ist und ein schneller Restore möglich ist.

Mit anderen Worten: Backups in einer Produktivumgebung.

Mich interessiert eure Umsetzung.

Thank you @stefano for sharing! I'm looking forward to this series; backups are far too often overlooked, and then people have to try to recover bits and pieces from the remnants.

For me, the place where I generally start is RESTORATION: what do I want a restore (full or partial) to look like? Then, storage media (local external HDD, USB flash drive, tape, cloud, …; RTO may drive this), taking into account integrity. A lot of choices are then driven or dictated by those.

The new #Signal #backup system fulfills so many of the things people have wanted for so long:
Hosted by Signal, so your #data is safe even if you made a local backup but dropped your #phone in a lake.
The ability to dynamically offload media so that Signal takes up less space on your phone, while still letting you download that media on the fly if you scroll back.
An independent backup format that is readable by all clients, so that you can do things like backup on #Android and restore on #iOS.
A generous optional free tier that will ensure that all of the text content of your messages is backed up, as well as the most recent 45 days of media.
A fairly-priced paid tier that allows us to offer 100GB of media storage in a way that is sustainable for us as an organization.
