Data backup

[bourgeoa]

@justinwb could we begin a discussion on the data and .db backup.

• fréquence : daily, weekly ...
• location
• restore all pods, a pod, a pod folder
• the restore procedure should be tried once in a while to be defined.
• the process shall be manageable by a group of users.

Could you explain what is the digital Ocean installation.
What is the plan used by the solid community server (size, other peculiarities) :

• a droplet + a store with mount
• snapshot on the droplet

Digital Ocean has backup available at a cost.
It may be the easiest for security/confidentiality.
Is it manageable by a group of user.

Rsync could be used locally or to a distinct server.
Is there a performance problem.

Weekly data backup is now running with rsync Cron jobs

Thanks @bourgeoa

In November 2024 it was discovered that rsync failed in Cron jobs.
Issue is disk not full but no inodes available.

Backup disk has been cleaned and rsync backup modified to not backup .db/oidc/op folder that only contain temp keys.

Weekly backup is working again.
Inodes availability should be checked regularly.
