In response to this post@ai6yr I read that hashtag as Los Angeles, not Louisiana, and was deeply confused. Not that dumping snow in Louisiana is any less confusing.

In response to this post@ai6yr I'm using Duplicity - dumping first to a local directory and then copying that up to B2. Do something like this in the pre script for your local backup:
/usr/bin/sudo -u mastodon /usr/bin/pg_dump mastodon_production > /backup/pgsqldump-$(date '+%F')
Then in post do an rm so they don't stack up forever.
@me Thanks|!

In response to this post@ai6yr I am a huge fan of Backblaze for this purpose. Encrypt before sending to them, store the key securely a different way, use their S3 immutability, choose a remote geographic location. They're cheap - I keep my Mastodon instance backed up for a dollar fifty a month.
@me Dollar fifty?!?!! Dang, I need to do that. Particular linux software you are using to accomplish that?

@me @ai6yr
I tried Backblaze. It was much more expensive than that. Like 10X. I stopped it because it was like an expensive gym membership. It's also a per- station price regardless of the overall memory amount, which wasn't great.
I must have clicked the wrong thing signing up?
