The purpose is that I want my data to be safe, secure, and can be easily
|
|
recovered if I lost some devices; or in the worst situation, I lost all.
|
|
Because you know, it is hard to guess what is waiting for us in the
|
|
future.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
There are 2 main sections which I want to share, the first is
|
|
<strong>How to backup</strong>, the second is
|
|
<strong>Recovery strategy</strong>.

Before I talk about backup, I want to talk about data. In specifically,
|
|
which data should I backup?
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
I use Arch Linux and macOS, primarily work in the terminal so I have too
|
|
many dotfiles, for example, <code>~/.config/nvim/init.lua</code>. Each
|
|
time I reinstall Arch Linux (I like it a lot), I need to reconfigure all
|
|
the settings, and it is time-consuming.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
So for the DE and UI settings, I keep it as default as possible, unless
|
|
it's getting in my way, I leave the default setting there and forget about
|
|
it. The others are dotfiles, which I write my own
|
|
<a href="https://github.com/haunt98/dotfiles">dotfiles tool</a> to backup
|
|
and reconfigure easily and quickly. Also, I know that installing Arch
|
|
Linux is not easy, despite I install it too many times (like thousand
|
|
times since I was in high school). Not because it is hard, but as life
|
|
goes on, the
|
|

|

|
|

|
|
>official install guide</a
|
|

|
|
keeps getting new update and covering too many cases for my own personal
|
|
use, so I write my own
|
|
<a
|
|

|
|

|
|
to quickly capture what I need to do.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
So that is my dotfiles, for my regular data, like Wallpaper or Books,
|
|
Images, I use Google Drive (actually I pay for it). But the step: open the
|
|
webpage, click the upload button and choose files seems boring and
|
|
time-consuming. So I use Rclone, it supports Google Drive, One Drive and
|
|
many providers but I only use Google Drive for now. The commands are
|
|
simple:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<div class="highlight highlight-source-shell">
|
|
<pre><span class="pl-c"><span class="pl-c">#</span> Sync from local to remote</span>
|
|
<span class="pl-c"><span class="pl-c">#</span> remote can be gdrive, 1drive, ..., anything you previously config with rclone</span>
|
|
rclone sync MyBooks remote:MyBooks -P --exclude .DS_Store
|
|
|
|
<span class="pl-c"><span class="pl-c">#</span> Sync from remote to local</span>
|
|
rclone sync remote:MyBooks MyBooks -P --exclude .DS_Store</pre>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Before you use Rclone to sync to Google Drive, you should read
|
|
<a href="https://rclone.org/drive/" rel="nofollow"
|
|
>Google Drive rclone configuration</a
|
|
>
|
|
first.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>For private data, I use restic which use Rclone as backend:</p>
|
|
<div class="highlight highlight-source-shell">
|
|
<pre><span class="pl-c"><span class="pl-c">#</span> Init</span>
|
|
restic -r rclone:remote:PrivateData init
|
|
|
|
<span class="pl-c"><span class="pl-c">#</span> Backup</span>
|
|
restic -r rclone:remote:PrivateData backup PrivateData
|
|
|
|
<span class="pl-c"><span class="pl-c">#</span> Cleanup old backups</span>
|
|
restic -r rclone:remote:PrivateData forget --keep-last 1 --prune
|
|
|
|
<span class="pl-c"><span class="pl-c">#</span> Restore</span>
|
|
<span class="pl-c"><span class="pl-c">#</span> Be careful because restic restore fullpath</span>
|
|
<span class="pl-c"><span class="pl-c">#</span> See https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/2092</span>
|
|
restic -r rclone:remote:PrivateData restore latest --target <span class="pl-k">~</span></pre>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The next data is my passwords and my OTPs. These are the things which I'm
|
|
scare to lose the most. First thing first, I enable 2-Step Verification
|
|
for all of my important accounts, should use both OTP and phone method.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
I use Bitwarden for passwords (that is a long story, coming from Google
|
|
Password manager to Firefox Lockwise and then settle down with Bitwarden)
|
|
and Aegis for OTPs. The reason I choose Aegis, not Authy (I use Authy for
|
|
so long but Aegis is definitely better) is because Aegis allows me to
|
|
extract all the OTPs to a single file (can be encrypted), which I use to
|
|
transfer or backup easily.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
As long as Bitwarden provides free passwords stored, I use all of its
|
|
apps, extensions so that I can easily sync passwords between laptops and
|
|
phones. The thing I need to remember is the master password of Bitwarden
|
|
in my head.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
With Bitwardent/Aegis, I also can export the data (must always be
|
|
encrypted), then:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Sync to Google Drive</li>
|
|
<li>Store locally in my laptop</li>
|
|
<li>Don't store locally in phone (can not keep track easily)</li>
|
|
</ul>

There are many strategies that I process to react as if something strange
|
|
is happening to my devices.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
If I lost my laptops, single laptop or all, do not panic as long as I
|
|
have my phones. The OTPs are in there, the passwords are in Bitwarden
|
|
cloud, other data is in Google Drive so nothing is lost here.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
If I lost my phone, but not my laptops, I use the OTPs which are stored
|
|
locally in my laptops.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
In the worst situation, I lost everything, my laptops, my phone. The
|
|
first step is to recover my SIM, then log in to Google account using the
|
|
password and SMS OTP. After that, log in to Bitwarden account using the
|
|
master password and OTP from Gmail, which I log in previously.
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>

To backup everything is hard, so keep it simple and only backup important
|
|
things. Pick one then stay away from other cloud services:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>TODOis, Evernote, ... -> Google Keep / Notion</li>
|
|
<li>Dropbox, OneDrive, ... -> Google Drive</li>
