Over the years I’ve helped friends hosting their own forum. I’ve made them rent a Hetzner server, set up automated backups on Discourse, and I sync them to my Google Drive with rclone and a cron task. Each admin of each forum has access to their own backups on my Drive. It’s the simplest and safest…

I pull backups using rsync over ssh, with a restricted account, from a cronjob. Well, I don’t, but one of my mods does. I take and download a backup when I do an update. So, in the one case we could lose a few days of forum activity, and in the other case we could lose a month or more. I should …

S3 for backups, I’d recommend. Daily backups of the forum if you want to be safe. Backups of the VPS, if you want to be extra-safe. There’s also: [imagem] Best Practices for Backups Sysadmins If you are self-hosted, you should keep off-site backups in case th…

Well, I’m backupping the database every hour :man_shrugging: It is same principle than with e-commerce — one must consider what is the biggest timeframe what can and/or wants to restore.

I like to have three encrypted copies, one in host, other cloud (S3 compatible) and the final in optical HD or USB drive. Planning to backup in decentralized storage, I am currently exploring the reliability of the available options as well.

我目前每天执行一次备份并上传数据库通过discourse内置的备份功能来备份，上传的原图通过restic每天执行增量备份都上传到网盘，但是目前的缺点是只上传了一种网盘，最好以后上传到多个网盘

use offsite backups and object storage. i use cloudflare R2 (S3 compatible) and have restored to different servers a number of times. easy to manage and restore. also, use a dual container build.

A useful tactic for these kinds of questions is to consider the threat model. We’ve already seen some of these fire destroys the building that contains your server you lose control of the account with your provider the person with control over your domain is permanently unavailable you lose acces…
