Guess who just wiped all of his docker volumes because he thought they were backed up via borg but I had an exception set during testing….. #linux #fail

@fraydabson ouch! That hurts! What did you test?

@Haui111 I’m just a major idiot. When I was testing borg after setting it up I put an exception in for the docker snap directory. Meant to remove it(should have just never done it) but didn’t. Then after a server hiccup with setting up yubikey my docker daemon stopped working so I reinstalled docker with purge because I swore I had it backed up and forgot about the exception. Any persistent directories are fine but I wiped all my volumes.

@Haui111 had I done a dry run instead of the exception none of this would have happened. It’s 100% user error on me

@fraydabson i feel you. I dread the day that happens to me. I‘m actually building a backup script atm to take care of this. Pretty straightforward so far. My whole machine is also backed up 3 times a week but if the error gets overlooked I don’t know what will happen on the backup side. So keep safe #321Backup

@Haui111 yup 100% now that I know I fixed my borg script and should be fine. Most my containers didn’t have much in the volumes so no loss that can’t be recovered. So far biggest PITA is authentik sso data was in a volume so need to set that back up from scratch
