Keeping my shit together - Backup and storage options?

Whatever you decide to do. Keep in mind, sync services like dropbox will sync your F ups as well.

You have 30 days by default of logs of those F-ups too, so you can restore a previous version with no issue. I personally subscribed to the packrat service because I've ran into an issue before where I wish I hadn't deleted something and was a couple days late from being able to restore it when I realized the file was missing. That extra little a month would have saved me a week of coding

Honestly... I had no idea. I just logged into the web interface and got really excited. Thanks for sharing!

short answer: get git or gtfo

Which plugin & program do you use for github access? There's several subversion apps for Eclipse, I'm curious which you find is easier to work with for github. I'm thinking about testing it out if it doesn't take too long to setup. I didn't realize they had private repositories, I thought it was all public.

Mac + Time Machine and external HD, backs up everything every hour.

I also use dropbox for projects I am working on that have not been fully uploaded to a FTP on a host, or for files I spent a lot of time working on (coding projects).

bro, do i look like i use eclipse plugins?

seriously, though, i'm pretty sure eclipse has tight integration from a couple different plugins, and there's no shortage of desktop UIs and such, if that's what you're into

lmao! WF in command line. Awesome.

I'm on Windows and was just trying to keep it easy. I was reading about a few different setups for it and Egit seems to be the most straightforward way to do it, this tutorial seems to be the most concise from reading a few different setups.

daily cron job that rsyncs to a *unlimited* hosting plan .. u know the ones that cost 7,8 bucks/m

that + drop box

being able to run shell on your backup files helps

I do this as well. Why pay extra when I'm already renting servers anyway.

Just keep all the backups out of the web server directories! :thumbsup:

I honestly don't see why anyone would pay monthly for online backup.

Clicking and dragging a folder onto your FTP client is more or equally convenient without the dependency on local backups, and storage costs peanuts nowadays.

Sounds like you're mostly talking setting aside storage for serving up media.
