Comment on Promised myself I will support them after they go stable. They kept their promise and so did I

  • Short: It is a second Hardrive using borg that backs up the primary harddrive.

  • Long: My Backup strategy:-

  Databases and other imp files:

  For databases the backup happens every night that gets saved on the server itself. Then when my laptop connects either to the home network or to the Internet, the backup zip files on my server syncs to my laptop via syncthing. Then my laptop’s data is backed up to OneDrive (encrypted) — this includes the immich database backups. I usually keep 7 days worth of backup files just incase some get corrupted and I can just go back to the previous day.

  Library

  Since my Immich Library is big, daily borg backups are not possible for 200 gigs. So I have scheduled them every Sunday morning when I rarely use the server. The photos gets uploaded to the hardrive mounted to Immich’s Library directory. The hard drive is exclusively used only for Immich. That hard drive is then backed up to another hard drive using borg and also to my OneDrive using rclone. (All encrypted). So 3 copies of the data, 2 on 2 different hardives (off which 1 is primary) and one offsite.

    I do nightly borg backups of much more than 200gb. The idea of incremental backups is you’re only doing the changes, and photos don’t tend to change.

    What challenge did you come across with a 200GB backup?

  Spinning and flash.

      The world needs those two gifs combined so we can more easily (and awesomely!) answer this question in the future.

    Why does it need to be two types? Can’t I have 2 spinning?

      if you have off-site backup, that could potentially count as the two types, but probably not in the spirit of the backup.

      I have two spinning disks, a SATA SSD cache, and off-site backup

      You put them in a safe. Safe falls down, spinning is gone.

      You put them in a safe and forget about them for some time. Flash is gone, spinning still has data.

      You can do two spinning but then you should at least use drives from different manufacturers to reduce the risk of them failing at (roughly) the same time.
