Couchsurfing.com nearly went from 70,000 users to outa-business in one foul moment due to an (inadvertent) lack of backups.

Using Cygwin, Rsync, and SSH to backup my computer
I’m looking to backup my data. I’d love to hear comments from the peanut gallery Here’s what I’ve got so far: From the many many reviews I’ve read, Maxtor One Touch external drives have serious reliability issues. Don’t use.

I present to you the canonical backup story, in my own words (except for the part about it being canonical.. Those are TJIC’s words). At my last company, they spent 30 grand on a fancy-ass automated tape backup system. We had 3 full time IT people and 12 engineers (that is generally considered overkill on […]
Rclone is the right software to copy multi-terabyte file repositories from one place to another! It’s also very capable at rearranging files in lots of other different ways. Check it out. It’s something of a sister program to rsync on unix. I had to fiddle with rclone a bit. Here is the command I ended […]
