I am testing out / researching bundle packages for VPS deployment and I realized I haven't looked into Backup solutions in a while. What free open source backup software would you recommend and what newer ones have you heard about? If portable even better. #backup #server #sysadmin #opensource #vps #cyberSecurity #infoSec #cloud #homelab

I finally defeated the final boss of my backup migration to Proton Drive. For months, I have been trying to sync my 500GB media library (around 80k files) to Proton Drive. Every single time, the sync crashed with the exact same error: "1 item failed to backup." The only clue I had was a blurry thumbnail named "Asset 1". No date, no metadata, no search tags. I was so frustrated that I even asked Proton support to completely wipe my encrypted volume so I could start from scratch. The result was exactly the same. Finding this file became a manual protocol. I spent months periodically scanning through thousands of files just looking for a visual match to that tiny thumbnail. I finally found it today. It was an old scan from 2017. It was completely frozen - uneditable, unindexed, and gave an error when I tried to export it from my phone. I managed to track it down via macOS. When I forced an export there, the truth came out: it was not an image at all. It was a .pdf file somehow saved into the photo gallery, and it was silently breaking the entire upload queue. Removing it fixed everything. The sync is finally 100% complete. The relief of finally closing this mental background process is unmatched. #ProtonDrive #SelfHosted #DataHoarder #TechSupport #Backup #TechPhilosophy #DataMigration #Fediverse

I wrote up my entire backup strategy for my across FreeBSD and Linux:

  • ZFS snapshots with sanoid
  • Off-site replication via syncoid to rsync.net (encrypted at rest)
  • Proxmox Backup Server fronting Backblaze B2 for VMs
  • A Podman trick for backing up RHEL hosts without native packages
  • Dead man’s switch monitoring
  • Quarterly restore tests recorded with asciinema

Real configs included.

Jak wtyczka do backupów w WordPress pozwalała na zdalne wykonanie kodu – CVE-2026-1357 Backupy są ważne i każdy kto choć raz padł ofiarą ataku lub spotkał się z awarią środowiska produkcyjnego wie o czym jest mowa. Do wykonywania kopii zapasowych istnieje szereg rozwiązań, zarówno darmowych jak i komercyjnych. Coraz częściej można się również spotkać ze specjalistycznymi narzędziami, jakim jest np. popularny plugin WPvivid... #WBiegu #Backup #Bugbounty #Cve #Rce #Traversal #Wordpress https://sekurak.pl/jak-wtyczka-do-backupow-w-wordpress-pozwalala-na-zdalne-wykonanie-kodu-cve-2026-1357/

#PSA: If you are documenting the #ICE operations in the #USA with #video, I am BEGGING you to NOT trust ANY US-based #SocialMedia like #YouTube. There is currently a high risk your uploads will be nuked, shadowbanned or otherwise suppressed, given the recent FISHY #TikTok aquisition. Backup everything on international servers. Or better: Move ur stuff altogether. Use decentralized tech like #PeerTube. Do it BEFORE the banhammer strikes. #decentralization #backup #media #journalism #Internet

I really like Veeam''s Backup solution especially on Linux because of the image based backups even with ext4. What I don't like ist the limited scheduling options. For that purpose I used some bash scripting and some SystemD units to help me out. I wrote a blog post about my process and at the end you can find a link to my git for the files. https://cperrin.xyz/en/2026/01/28/triggering-veeam-backups-on-linux-with-systemd/ #linux #backup #homelab #systemd #veeam #sysadmin

Ich mag die Backup Lösung von Veeam sehr. Vor allem unter Linux kann man damit leicht Image-Basierte Backups machen selbst mit ext4. Leider ist das Scheduling gerade unter Linux nicht gut. Deshalb habe ich eine Lösung mit SystemD gebaut. Ich habe einen Blogeintrag geschrieben der beschreibt wie das ging. Am ende vom Betrag findet ihr auch direkt einen Link zum Code. https://cperrin.xyz/2026/01/28/veeam-backups-unter-linux-mit-systemd-triggern/ #linux #backup #veeam #sysadmin #homelab
