BACKUP! BACKUP!! BACKUP!!!
It's when I was trying to make my yearly backup
jesus - that's by far not enough
When I backup, I erase the previous year
so the first you do is delete the last known good state
as I don't have enough room otherwise
seriously?
an external 10 TB disk costs around 200 EUR
an external 20 TB disk costs around 400 EUR
with rsnapshot you can make daily, weekly and montly backups
until the doctor comes because anything unchanged are only hard links
then backup the new year. As a system, it worked up until now.
no, it did not as you found out the first time you needed it
It assembles fine with all the disks, the problem is the data corruption
that has occurred across the members
and what makes you think you can fix that manually
