![]() What is the point of backing up if the files already contain corruption? ![]() The point I am trying to make here is, I do not like to make backups of a system that has been running for any length of time. Sure you can buy ECC ram, and use methods like parity hard drives to error check creating a ‘better’ servers to run Openhab on, but then the cost of having a HARDWARE backup goes up. Never backup a system that has been running a long time: Bit rot, soft error (and many other terms you can google for more info to help you sleep) all work to destroy data over time as computers do make mistakes which then accumulate.Downtime should be able to be fixed in under a minute plus booting time by any family member. A full hardware backup ready to go, not just a software backup. ![]() Is your backup files stored on that same device? I like the cheap raspberry PIx and SD cards because I wish to always keep a second one around setup ready to go.
