8:15:41bjorkintoshfrgo, have the test restorations of the backups been succesful?
8:32:27frgobjorkintosh: No - 10% overwritten, disks reporting as "raw" (unformatted). Data rescue still running.
10:02:55SAL9000frgo: good luck with your recovery!
10:03:41frgoSAL9000: oh - thanks. From one small win to another - it's going to be a long journey ...
10:04:03SAL9000Any recommendations of reasonable airgap backup methods for home use? Seems that actual tape drives/libraries are overly expensive for that use case...
10:04:58SAL9000I thought about "poor man's tape" i.e. using HDDs in hotplug cradles as "tapes"
10:05:02frgowell, buy a decent external disk, do the data backup/ copy and disconnect the external disk.
10:12:49SAL9000I'm running ZFS on my fileserver, so I could use snapshot-send to do incremental backups
10:29:57shka_SAL9000: maybe something based around rsync?
10:39:37SAL9000shka_: rsync would work, although that leaves the question of what filesystem to use on the destination. zfs would give me bitrot protection, but extra complexity is also bad.
10:40:14shka_SAL9000: have you considered some kind of cloud?
