Wow had my ass screwed and then saved by Syncthing.

Went to work on a beat last night and my audio drive was empty.

EMPTY.

Like ALL MY SHIT IS GONE kind of empty.

After I finished shitting myself, I realized I had another backup that was intact. Crisis averted.

But wow Syncthing can just straight wipe everything if you're not careful. This time I've set it so my audio workstation is set to SEND ONLY and my backup server is RECEIVE ONLY.

Just sharing my insane experience over the last handful of hours. 😁

That's crazy scary. I have been pretty reckless with not backing up my stuff. I have been meaning to setup a NAS to make it more automatic.

I don't know what Syncthing is? based on this experience, would you recommend it?

Syncthing is open source and great for syncing a folder between multiple drives and multiple systems. Just gotta be careful of which drives you allow to be written to and which not. If you had a NAS, you might use Syncthing to handle automatic backups.

This year im looking to improve my backups as well. Ive been recommended Borgmatic Backup but have only started scratching the surface there.
