Yes, before doing major changes i usually run a snapshot
I listened to https://thehomelab.show/ podcast today, and they mentioned that before doing major upgrades, you could create a clone VM from latest backups and test the upgrades before doing them for real. That way you both ensure safe upgrade and also make sure your backup is restorable.
It sounded like a good idea, but it got me thinking of the size of my LXC filled with user data.. So I was wondering if I was doing it wrong
Huh. I recently set up local dovecot for archiving old emails, but not S3.
I'm curious, when you work on a document, how does that work; Is it a file on your hard drive, have you mounted a bucket somehow, do you sync using restful api somehow?
