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?

  • Back everything up
  • rm -rf /
  • Now rebuild.

Congratulations, you now know what’s required. :-P

Rebuild to different disks than the ones you backed up though. Don’t restore over your working data.
