Veeam community for me. Cross backup locally between my 2 servers at home, and then a copy job to an offsite NAS.

Have had to restorations before, and never had any issues.

Wow. My homeserver drives generally last me 5-8 years before I replace them. Can’t imagine getting nag dialogs after 3…

With mirrored storage spaces / raid10, who really cares if a single drive dies?

So looking at Mastodon as an example, everyone went on the main site and it wreaked havoc for a while, especially as the sites increased in size.

Might make sense to find a smaller site or roll our own.

It’s “self-hosted” after all, I would suspect our use-cases and skill-set are probably better served running our own. Or setting up a topic at one of the smaller-tech focused sites.
