  1. @btp I used iDrive on each of my computers for backup originally, with their cloud sync to keep docs / music / videos / etc in sync among them. There isn’t a Linux version for cloud sync, though. After I got a NAS, I started using to sync those files between it and each computer, and it has an iDrive app to back them up. I recently added to backup “other” files, like /etc and the config files in my home directory to the NAS.

  2. Heute ein wenig virtualisiert. 3 VMs auf VirtualBox installiert:

    1) Linux Mint
    2) Roon Rock Music Server
    3) UrBackup Appliance für VirtualBox

    #linuxmint #virtualbox #roon #urbackup

  3. Thinking about ditching free #Veeam backup for backup of my #windows workstation in favor of #UrBackup. I just need daily incremental and weekly full dump of main disk and some files. Anybody has any experience with it?

  4. Backup strategy: (note that this device has two NVMe drive bays (one Linux install each) and one 2.5" HDD/SSD bay)

    • Timeshift to record on-boot / on-hook (aka apt / pacman invocations) events to btrfs snapshots
    • Borg to backup critical folders (things required to be functional like, say, ~/.ssh as an example) every hour to local HDD
    • urbackup to take file-level backups every 6 hours, and block-level backups every 7 days (incremental, full every 7 days / 30 days), uploaded to my server-side (when connected to WWAN this is paused)
    • One additional watcher script that will enable a 6-hour Timeshift task if it detects that the latest urbackup run was more than 24 hours ago, just to ensure full-FS backups, even if I'm without internet or on mobile data.

  5. @unixtippse hasts mal angeschaut? #UrBackup

    Ich hab übrigens den #NejiSaurus jetzt auch, tolles Teil.

  6. So I've finally got my network backup server moved over just for data locality.

    Why have a separate host with an iSCSI mount when the NAS is powerful enough* to run it as a local VM instead?

    The hardest part will be seeing how well Proxmox Backup Server and #UrBackup cooperate sharing the same data disk. But given that UrB wants about 5x the space that PBS does (one of them has a native deduplication ratio of near 14:1, the other takes disk image backups).
