KillingTimeItself @lemmy.dbzer0.com my 18tb exos drive acting as a backup for my other 18tb exos drive is looking at you with disappointment right now.

6 0 ReplyKillingTimeItself @lemmy.dbzer0.com oh good, this one is mirrored, perfect.
Yeah i have some very manual backups setup, rsync and task scripting go brrr.
I don't need anything more complicated in my life frankly.
2 0 Replycapital @lemmy.world I started using Pushover to alert me about my backups so I get one of these daily:
Wasn’t too hard and only had to do it once.
2 0 ReplyKillingTimeItself @lemmy.dbzer0.com it's a systemd unit on my side, so i've got logging and potential to implement reporting if i desired, but frankly it's not worth the effort, i just check to see if the drives have roughly the same data on them every so often, because rsync is handling the rest for me, as well as systemd.
I should probably set up proper smart reporting, but i'm lazy and don't want to setup and email server lol.
2 0 Replycapital @lemmy.world I used to send email alerts but this just uses Pushover which is just an API call. Super easy.
