    Backups people backups. You don’t realize how much you want them until it’s too late to make them.

        Raid 0 right? I heard the number stands for how much risk there is of losing data.

        No, the backup goes after the raid when something goes wrong.

        Wait, I thought you’re talking about that SWAT team outside your house.

        If 3-2-1 is a good backup strategy, RAID (non-zero) is like 0.5 at best. Maybe 0.6 if your config can handle 2 simultaneous drive failures

      How do I make a backup of my pi and all its settings? I set everything up following guides and am not great with Linux. Is there a way to make like a full clone, so I can just copy paste into a new pi in case?

      Also remember to backup before things break. I once diligently backed up a system image before an upgrade. But I backed up a already failed SD card.

        Also remember to test your backup system.

        Setting up an intricate backup process is great, until an actual emergency happens and it turns out you can’t put Humpty-Dumpty back together
