Follow this checklist with backup scripts and documents to perform a professional, regular and comfortable local data backup.\n\n📋 Planning \u0026 Preparation\n--------------------------\n- [ ] 1. **Read the [documents](docs/)** to plan the best backup strategy.\n- [ ] 2. **Get hard drives** with enough capacity to hold all your data (different types recommended).\n- [ ] 3. **Label the hard drives** by writing the disk size and a unique name onto them (e.g. \"*4TB BACKUP DISK #1*\"), then connect them with the computer and rename the disks using the same name.\n- [ ] 4. **Download this [repository](https://github.com/fleschutz/my-backups/archive/refs/tags/v0.2.zip)** (5.8MB), then unzip and copy it as top folder 📁*my-backups* onto each backup harddisk.\n- [ ] 5. **Set up a reminder** in your digital calendar to back up your data every day/week/month/etc.\n\n💾 How to back up your Data\n----------------------------\n- [ ] 1. **Connect your smartphone** to the PC and copy photos into the *Pictures* folder, documents into the *Documents* folder, and so on.\n- [ ] 2. **Connect the next hard drive** to the PC and open the top folder 📁*my-backups* and then 📁*scripts*.\n- [ ] 3. **Execute the backup scripts** one after another, e.g. 📄*save_Pictures.bat* which copies your 📁*Pictures* folder to the backup disk at 📁*my-backups/my_data/Pictures*\n- [ ] 4. **Disconnect the hard drive** and store it in a separate (!) and secure (!) location.\n\n🪂 How to recover your Data\n---------------------------\n- [ ] 1. **Get the hard drive** with the latest (!) backup.\n- [ ] 2. **Check the hard drive:** in case it's damaged read the [documents](docs/).\n- [ ] 3. **Connect the hard drive** to the PC and open the top folder 📁*my-backups* and then 📁*my_data*.\n- [ ] 4. **Manually copy** (=overwrite files) or sync (=overwrite folder content) the missing or corrupted data back to the computer (but DON'T MOVE the data).\n- [ ] 5. **Disconnect the hard drive** and store it in the separate and secure location again.\n\n⚠️ Notes\n---------\n* **Follow the 3-2-1 rule**: Keep **3** copies of any important file (1 primary and 2 backups). Keep the files on **2** different media types to protect against different types of hazards. Store **1** copy offsite (e.g., outside your home or business facility). One of these copies should be stored offline to protect against ransomware attacks.\n* **A full backup** is made at first (slow for big data), but then only changes (\"deltas\") are copied in no time.\n* **A backup history** is available at: 📄*Logbook.csv* (table in .CSV format, updated by the backup scripts automatically).\n* **No encryption** is performed to keep it simple and robust! Use an encryption program and a vault to protect your backups against unauthorized physical access.\n* **Test your backups** regularly to ensure that they are working properly. Restore your backups to a test environment and check that all of your data can be accessed as expected.\n* **Feedback is welcome!** Create a pull request or send your email feedback to: markus.fleschutz [at] gmail.com\n* **DISCLAIMER:** All informations are given according to my best knowledge, but without guarantee.\n\n🤝 License \u0026 Copyright\n-----------------------\nThis open source project is licensed under the CC0-1.0 license.
