Fast and Secure Open-Source Backup Software for Windows, Mac, and Linux

My music library is too big and to much of a hassle to have backuped in the cloud, so I'm having it on multiple harddrives.

I'm thinking about having one harddive in my car as a backup in case something happens to my apartment (like a fire).

My car is not the best option though because it's outside in both the summer and the winter.

Is it best to use a HDD or SSD when considering the different temperatures it will be in?

I guess while I'm cleaning up the dust, let me add another post that, if nothing else, helps me remember why things are the way they are, in particular the Scaleway object storage endpoint tidbit.

If I missed something that should be backed up, please let me know? For context, this is a setup without any containers.

Backups, What a Concept

Creating Mastodon backups

Outage of the year award goes to 🥁🥁🥁

Synapse !

The reverse proxy in front of my s3 bucket for backups went out because the host node ran out of space, so no backups could be made for the last 6 days…
On top of that, it seems like the PVC holding synapse’s media got reset for some odd reason ?

We couldn’t share pictures so I thought something else was off, the only real problem came up when I tried updating Synapse to the latest version, which through out various weird errors

Now trying to bring it back up…
