You know, I have not worked on backup yet. :) I've done a lot of work on
this system and I don't really have a backup, except for one project or
two that I happen to once in a while push some commits to a remote
server. But my remote server doesn't have a backup strategy either.
And my needs are pretty simple. If I can stop to just write a Makefile
that copies files to a remote server, that will keep me safe. Gotta
stop to do this.
I also have some unallocated space on my solid state drive. OpenBSD is
able to dump partitions and using these dumps for recovery. It could be
something that would be very effective, too. Gotta get some things out
of the way here first and start new projects. I'm taking my chances for
now.
