Always have a backup ready, go check now - eviltoast

I thought I had a backup. I use the Gdrive add-on and it should have had a backup.

I didn’t have a backup.

Turns out when I moved from a Pi to Proxmox I didn’t set Gdrive add-on up properly, so it wasn’t making backups every 3 days like it always has.

Then I killed Proxmox. No idea what I did to kill it, I just tried to make my NAS VM have 4gb ram all the time instead of Ballooning from 1gb, and it never booted again.

So I had to start fresh. But while I’ve only been playing with VMs for a couple months my HA instance has been a work of love since Lockdowns and COVID times.

And now I’m starting again.

Now go and check your backup solution.

      This is the way. Have back ups scheduled within Proxmox that save to an external storage source.

      I did have ,but the storage borked, I rewiped it and never got around to setting up backups again.

      Now I’m on setup 2 and it’s high in my list of things to do
