Wow, two failing HDDs in one calendar year, I wonder if the batch is bad.

I bought all four of the original drives at one time and I think they all had the same lot code.

I wish ASUSTOR was a bit more active about sending me SMART failure notifications, this one I found because I was looking for something else in the ADM interface.

Ah, bah c’était une bonne chose que je vérifie mes backups ce matin, mes documents ne sont plus backupés depuis le 5 janvier 2024 ^^"

Who's got two thumbs and forgot to schedule automatic backups of one Synology to the other backup Synology? Me!

Oops.

Sitting on the harbourside, I saw someone lose their grip on a phone, which then tumbled into the water. Sensibly, nobody jumped in to retrieve it.

After witnessing this, I held onto my own phone tightly and wondered if everything was backed up.

Hey, time to check if your backups:

• Actually are being made
• Are restorable

For me, my backup machine had a funny issue where the backup disks didn't mount - so the backups filled up a small root partition instead due to a configuration issue... Oops.

But this is fixed now ^-^

A play in three parts…

Part 1: Oh! EdgeRouter has actually got some updates!

Part 2: Oh. EdgeRouter updates kill the wireguard install. And the config.. I’ll just go to the backups.

Part 3: #checkYourBackups, because Oxidized stopped backing up almost a year ago. My pain is small in this case, but learn from my pain! (I know better, but it’s the home stuff… so…. it gets less attention than it deserves sometimes) #sadTrombone
