    😱 Came home from a trip to a failed hard drive on one of my home servers. Time to put my backup system to the test!

    💾 New drive is on its way, warranty return for the old drive is started.

    ☁️ Once the new drive arrives, I'll attempt to restore it from my local backup. With any luck, that'll work. Otherwise I'll have to get a drive mailed to me from Backblaze.

    🚀 Here we go!

      It looks like this post is rendered truncated in @swentel's Indigenous. Together renders it correctly.

      I envy people who have backups in place. I can't afford a backup drive 😭

      Update: new drive is restoring from my local backup. Currently at 250gb out of 4tb after a few hours. Slow but steady progress.

      This is why I always have 3 copies of everything! I wouldn't want to be in a situation where my backup copy fails while restoring it to my main drive, leaving me with nothing.

      @aaronpk Oof. Downtime stinks. Good luck with your live backup test! 🚨 This is not a drill! 🚨
