(pawb.social) submitted 3 years ago by juliette@pawb.social to c/selfhosted@lemmy.world 126 comments fedilink hide all child comments I have a home server that I’m using and hosting files on it. I’m worried about it breaking and loosing access to the files. So what method do you use to backup everything?

It’s why I don’t have many backups. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Difficult_Bit_1339@sh.itjust.works 1 point 3 years ago In the 20 years that I've been running a home server I've never had anything more than a failed disk in the array which didn't cause any data loss. I do have backups since it's a good practice and also because it familiarizes me with the software and processes as they change and update so my skillset is always fresh for work purposes. permalink fedilink source parent
