You just finished setting up all your services and it works fine - how do you now prepare for eventual drive failure? - eviltoast

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?

    If you’ve got a good network path NFS mounts work great. Don’t forget to also back up your compose files. Then bringing a machine back up is just a case of running them.
