You just finished setting up all your services and it works fine - how do you now prepare for eventual drive failure? (kbin.social)

I know that for data storage the best bet is a NAS and RAID1 or something in that vein, but what about all the docker containers you are running, carefully configured services on your rpi, installed *arr services on your PC, etc.?

Do you have a simple way to automate backups and re-installs of these as well or are you just resigned to having to eventually reconfigure them all when the SD card fails, your OS needs a reinstall or the disk dies?

I use docker so don't really have to worry about reproducibility of the Services or configurations. Docker will fetch the right services and versions. I've documented the core configurations so I can set them back up relatively easily. Anything custom I haven't documented I'll just have to remember or find I need to reset up.

virtualize the machine with proxmox, use proxmox backup server, load vm on new system if you get catastrophic failure on the machine running the vm currently.

I use duplicati for docker containers. You just host it in docker and attach all the persistent volumes from the other containers to it, then you can set up backup jobs for each.

configs are backed up I can spin up a new container in minutes, I just accept the manual labor. It's probably a good thing to clean out the spiders and skeletons every now and then.
