Schon gewusst, dass …

Wikipedias Geheimnis in der enttarnt wurde? 😨

Sie sind also gekommen um das größte der allmächtigen Online-Enzyklopädie zu erfahren? Und Sie glauben, die können Sie verkraften? Ihnen sind auch schon so manche Merkwürdigkeiten aufgefallen und geahnt haben Sie schon lange etwas? 😱

Sie haben recht, so seltsam es klingen mag, es ist wahr: Wikipedia ist ein -Kubus. 😆 😜

Ok, thanks to @borgmatic I have a backup that is running and sending data to a repurposed backup drive that used to be formatted to my old backup scheme and is now fully assimilated to the borg.

I'm gonna run it for a few weeks, then convert my other hard drive that I swap between... and once those have run for a month or two I'll swap one of them to my offsite location and convert my current offsite drive. Slow, steady, and with a fallback at all times!

#borgmatic friends. I have several backup drives that I rotate through. If I list each of their mount points in the borgmatic config, and the drive isn't mounted so the path doesn't exist, will borgmatic error out, or continue with the additionally listed destinations?

ideally It'd just update whatever drives I have mounted, and skip over whatever ones I don't.

I don't really know how Pika Backup interacts with the borg integrity check thing and BorgBase has been giving me warnings about lack of post-quantum key exchange for a while. This is fine when doing backups but integrity checks say that it failed. I found the Pika Backup log file in "~/.var/app/org.gnome.World.PikaBackup/config/pika-backup/history.json" and the only stuff is the warnings just like the UI popup (search for "check"). Is it just a confusing UI thing?

I love #Borg #BorgBackup + #Vorta

And not just because of the Trek references. 🤓

Si desea respaldar en local tu calendario o agenda, recomiendo de cdlibre.org/consultar/catalogo. Lo he utilizado durante años y sencillamente es fabuloso. Bueno el catalogo entero es interesante.

Cobbled together some automated backups + email reporting using borg + msmtp + nfs + shell scripts. Good fun.

@dlakelan Good move. For decades my backups were removed RAID devices. I use plain #borg now, and it is much better for having proper history management and the ability to just mount an archive for its perusal.

Another great stat for #Alcaraz:
It was his 90th Slam win. He needed only 20 Slams to get there!
After 20 Slams, #Federer had 48 Wins, #Djokovic 66, #Sampras 69!!
Only #McEnroe (91) & #Borg (98) did better among Legends.
We are witnessing one of the fastest career start ever!

Borg frontends for Gnome that aren’t DejaDup*

Suggestions?

* because no earthly power can bring DejaDup to remember my credentials, and my time is too precious to deal with this shit

Estoy animándome a probar #Vorta, un cliente para el sistema de respaldos #Borg, al parecer es más eficiente y con mejores opciones de cifrado que #BackInTime, sistema que llevo usando desde 2011 (sin problemas, la verdad).

Aunque me da miedo romper la regla de "si funciona, no le muevas", también soy seguidor de la máxima: "quien tenga miedo a vivir, que no nazca".

Deseen éxito o hagan comentarios sobre sus sistemas de respaldo.

Correction:

- using two `mv` saves time because copying is not needed;
- using two `mv` avoids risking `ENOSPC` during the sync;
- using two `mv` does *not* help with the backup part.

Toying with #borg a little more, even after a clean `mv` of the parent directory, it goes through all files again, and I'm looking at 14+ minutes again.

All that with NVMe on the left, SSD on the right, and a somewhat limited machine on the right side (running borg): 2 cores (Pentium G3240 @ 3.10GHz).

And of course, because of the copy aspect, #borg create (with --progress and --stats for good measure) actually needs to chug through all those (big) files to see which chunks are new etc. so that's also taking a long while.

Enough to let me learn how to parse this:

151.33 GB O 148.94 GB C 993.03 kB D 281558 N

and to start thinking everything is going to be fine (almost everything being Compressed already, almost nothing Deduplicated).
