Did you backup?

Did you back up your server this week?

And if you don't do it automatically... why not?

How much data have you lost recently if ever?

I want to hear your backup horror stories and don't lie! 🤣

if your data only exists in one place, it doesn't really have a backup. Unless of course your data is stored on this!

I lost like a month worth of claude code chatlog (mostly stale conversation). Now, the Jsonl is streamed to 2 boxes on hourly basis. The box was on monthly backup schedule. Oof.

Sadly, I’ve never really had the habit of making backups. I usually only remember how important they are after I’ve already lost something.

Yes !! 👍
Btw Lost three sites hosted on HostDzire vps (Mumbai). Restored two thx to backups. Third… used the opportunity to get out of Wordpress .

P.s : in 2018 one (human) error and I lost all personal data -images, videos… pre-2018. Another blessing in disguise 🥸

We store our files on a HDD pulled from our Dell Inspiron 600m laptop, purchased in 2005.
It's been a decade since we installed this drive on the USB-PATA adapter, connected to a USB 2.0 port on our home router.
Every night we hear weird noise coming from this drive.
Don't worry, our files are totally safe because it's right next to our pillow.

Weekly auto backups with email notification with the log as message body, the only way to backup I accept...

20 years ago I was playing with mi PC installing Ubuntu. Somehow I damaged the whole 80GB HDD with all of the photos of my family.

I think I got traumatized and now I always take backups of important stuff.

I've kept my data online since 2002. It's fucking worthless, but everything still works.
