I create a list of packages installed on my system and back that up long with my
sbbs directory on a daily basis using burp backup. My backup server is on anoth
er continent. I keep 7 days, then a couple of monthly backups, though that's rea
lly overkill, I have the space for it.
If the server is lost, it's very easy to recreate, install burp, pull the packag
e list and install the packages and restore the BBS. The entire backup is 26gb i
ncluding file areas.
