>pic related

From where did you got that pic?

General advice for all fuckheads:

Always back up your shit. Whenever you say, "hmmm.. how much data I need to store?" then double that and buy that many storages.

Put one storage disconnected from main storages, so that virus and haxxor can't destroy both. Only connect other storage when needed to backup.

ALSO!

if you want always-online automated backup server (could be crap linux box of 8 years ago tech.. this is fine), run different OS on main server and backup server. Not different linux flavor, by example. Completely different OS!

If you have Windows main server, use linux backup server, or vice versa. Use different passwords on both. Encrypt if you are pedo or terorrist, otherwise no one gives a shit about your mounds of traps. (Lack of plausible pun intentional.)

But this way virus or haxxor on one box does not easily propogate to other box.

FINALLY:

In this scenario of two servers, the backup server should have firewall. Good firewall. NO TRAFFIC ALLOWED IN TO BACKUP SERVER. Should be invisible like thin ninja on network. Backup server should pull data from main server, with very permission-limited user account. (Read only).

As such, backup server should be neigh unbreachable, even if main server is compromised.

That is all. Goodbye.

OH!

and consider house fire! Or burglary!

Hide backup server elsewhere in house or abode, far away as possible from the main server. use silent, low power chassis configuration for backup server.

>it's secret
>don't post about it on b

It's cool dude, don't worry. I once crashed several major servers at work because not everyone as slow.

They came back online 2 days. Several thousand people were seriously inconvenienced. I still chuckle.

Ask NSA for their backup.

Problem solved.
