Ransomware touched 44% of breaches last year.
The fix isn't outsmarting attackers. It's a copy of your data they can't reach.

I’m thinking that rsync is not sufficient for important large data backups. Even if I’m rsyncing the data away to the Hetzner Storage Box.
I need something more advanced with deduplication and so on. I tried #borgbackup in the past, and that thing was absolutely not user-friendly. It was rather user-hostile.
Now, #SelfHosted community has #Duplicati and #Duplicacy? Does someone use one? Any recommendations?#homelab #selfhosting #selfhost #backup #backups #databackup

I hope most of us are not in need to record to this #OutdatedMedium, (DAT, #DigitalAudioTape) but should consider #DataBackup before the old tapes age too much!?
30 years might be considered a practical maximum age... -
PetaPixel: A Videographer Built a Free App That Tells You When a Memory Card Is Safe to Wipe. “The software is simple to use. Once the card is inserted into the card reader or camera connected to the computer, users select two drives (typically a working drive and a backup) and then the card is dumped to both sources at once. Stow then checks both copies of every file to ensure they are […]

From Laundry to Linux: Two Productive Days in Lusaka
Yesterday (April 30) and today (May 1), I spent some time doing laundry while also setting up my Raspberry Pi with Umbrel OS. I installed the software I need and started backing up my data today, deciding to go with Seafile for it.
I worked on all of this at the hostel, then took a walk to the university and continued in the library. Later, I went to a burger place and enjoyed a Friday deal.
Here are some photos from these two days.

The 3-2-1 backup rule for research data:
3️⃣ Keep 3 copies of your data
2️⃣ Store them on 2 different media types
1️⃣ Keep 1 copy off-siteHard drives fail. Laptops get stolen. Cloud services go down. Your data is worth more than your equipment. Take care of it and spend some thoughts how to manage it.

I solemnly swear to backup my important documents and precious memories on March 31st...
(secretly, I have daily, if not hourly, backups of some things, but I try to check once a week that they are actually backing up)

This is a reminder to do your backups!
(Yes, your non-automated backups. Yes, it’s not truly a backup unless you test restoration. Yes, RAID is not backup. Yes, you should rotate your backups and keep at least one off-site).

On ITSPmagazine hashtag#Webinars:
🚨 94% of hashtag#ransomware victims had their hashtag#backups attacked.
Let that sink in for a moment.Organizations spend thousands on backup solutions. They follow best practices. They sleep better thinking their data is safe. But here's the uncomfortable truth: if your storage can be compromised, it will be.
In our latest ITSPmagazine webinar, I sat down with Sean Martin, CISSP and Anthony Cusimano from Object First to expose a critical gap in most backup strategies.
The statistics are not looking good:
→ 93% of hashtag#cyberattacks specifically target hashtag#backupstorage
→ Most "immutable" solutions aren't really immutable at all
→ Organizations don't even realize their backups are sitting ducksAs Anthony revealed: "People don't even know what they don't know."
The ransomware playbook is devastatingly simple: take out the backups, hold companies hostage, get paid. And here's the kicker - many attackers have no idea how to actually restore the data even after receiving the ransom.This conversation isn't just about technology. It's about protecting livelihoods, businesses, and the people who depend on them.
Ready for the complete deep dive on ransomware-proof backups and absolute immutability?
