Andrej Shadura<p>Each time I needed to migrate my data to a new SSD with LVM and LUKS, I struggled a lot, until I figured this out properly.

Curtis Carter<p>Also, if you've never used <a href="https://floss.social/tags/lvm2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lvm2</span></a> I highly recommend it. You can throw a bunch of spare drives together on an old dell powerEdge server and have a cheap Plex server, <a href="https://floss.social/tags/minecraft" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>minecraft</span></a> server, etc. Just be aware those ~$100 powerEdge servers are EoL so they shouldn't be open to the Internet or hold anything critical (also for safety install <a href="https://floss.social/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>linux</span></a> as current Windows versions don't support them at all).</p>
Keith Nasman<p>I’m setting up network level backups at the homestead. 8Tb HDD just landed. Dropped <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/lvm2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>lvm2</span></a> on it. I set up another <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/vorta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>vorta</span></a> profile to backup my laptop. I’ll set up the spouse’s MacBook for backing up with vorta as well. Then onto the <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/RaspberryPi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RaspberryPi</span></a> devices.</p><p>Next up will be setting up apt-mirror so that all my devices can update without leaving the LAN.</p>
