Rclone syncs your files to cloud storage
- for important files, a separate box where I have borgmatic [1] in deduplication mode installed; this is updated once in a while
Just curious: Do you have any reason to believe that such a data corruption bug is likely in ZFS? It seems like saying that ext4 could have a bug and you should also store stuff on NTFS, just in case (which I think does not make sense..).

Kopia: Open-Source, Fast and Secure Open-Source Backup Software
Not really dumb. I do use them too but with Borgbackup on the top (since they support it natively).
I found Borgmatic ( https://torsion.org/borgmatic/ ) to be the best way to run my backups. It takes care of everything from pruning to verifying the checksum etc... and it integrates with some monitoring (like cronitor).
So Borgmatic + rsync.net is the best combo
- Ask HN: How do you do backups for personal/home server?
-
KBackup vs rsync?
For backups I use Borg myself. If you need a GUI, you can use Vorta or Pika. With borgmatic, there is also a wrapper that extends the range of functions of Borg.

-
Suggestions for Incremental Backup Software
Furthermore, Borgmatic is a wrapper for Borg that extends or improves the range of functions.
-
BorgBackup 1.2.4 released
For those of you not familiar, borgmatic is a very convenient tool which runs as a wrapper around borg.
-
Server lost power, world not loading correctly
I recommend Borg and Borgmatic. Automated, easy to setup, capable of notifying you if anything happens, deduplication and compression makes backups smaller, etc.
-
Any advice/best practices for how to backup emails of Linux-based mail server
To add to this, Borg backup can be a little daunting to configure. There is a wrapper script called Borgmatic that distills it down to a single yaml config file. There are also some cloud hosts like BorgBase and rsync.net with native Borg support.

Show HN: I built a self-hosted status page and monitoring tool for my projects
Hey mate, I'm using https://healthchecks.io/ for heartbeat monitoring my crons. It's been working flawlessly for quite some time now. The UI is super clean and easy to navigate. It's also free up to 20 monitored jobs. Note - I'm not in any way related to that project.

Webhooks suck, but here are alternatives
In fact, your platform (https://healthchecks.io/) is a prime example of where running customer wasm would be really excellent.
Instead of sending webhooks out to customer configured URLs, you could run a Wasm environment to execute customer code. Off hand, a good use case here is to do further inspection of the event before it gets sent off to some other system - maybe there are cases where you send false-positives and needlessly trigger external system alerts. The customer Wasm could do more introspection on the healthcheck event and make a more informed decision about how to proceed.

What do you use for external monitoring?
i use healthchecks.io and have been very happy

Show HN: OnlineOrNot – Cron Job Monitoring
Is there anything different from https://healthchecks.io/ --- a service I've been using for free for a couple years now?
-
Prioritize IPv4 over IPv6 in dual stack
Because of this block on the router, and the fact that IPv6 connections are by default preferred over IPv4, many things on the system now cannot access the internet. the only things that can access the internet are for accessing servers that ONLY support IPv4 like my mail.smpt2go or my uptime monitoring scripts for healthchecks.io.
- Ask HN: How do you monitor your systemd services?
- Show HN: Peeng – like Pingdom, but the other way around and simpler
-
Detecting and alerting for power failures
i use https://healthchecks.io/ and highly recommend it.
-
Managing re-occurring tasks - Daily/weekly/monthly
We use a heartbeat system. Basically the monitoring continuously sends an alert to a healtcheck system. If that heartbeat fails, PagerDuty sends an alert to the oncall.
