Pro tip:

Make sure you can RECOVER from your backups.

It's all well and good backing this and that up, but make sure that when the shit really hits the fan you can recover.

I've now 4 days into recovering a raspberry pi that ran:
Pi-hole
Snort
DHCP
VSFTP
Logwatch
Splunk forwarder
Grafana

And serveral other things... I've learnt my lesson

    I do daily dds to an external hard drive. I simply dd it to the new SD card if the old one breaks.

    If you’ve never simulated a restore, you don’t have a backup.
