It's World Backup Day.

Always a good reminder. Know I've been caught pants down a few times over the years.

What do you have in place?

Backups :-)

It depends on the server and what it holds, but most servers get a daily backup to S3 and a weekly (live) snapshot of the full system. Some need hourly backups or real-time replication, while others don't even really need weekly backups. Haven't ever needed any of them, but it's reassuring.

Should have knocked on wood. Needed a backup today.

CarbonCopyCloner (OSX) has a sale today in honor of the occasion.
(disclosure) No affiliation with them but I do use the product.

Currently using managed hosting so nowadays I just make a copy of my local files that include my 3 sites to an external drive. I do this each Sunday and keep 3 weeks legacy. It's really all I need.

I've needed to retrieve files, usually htaccess, several times over the last couple years.
