Mondays mean: manually backing up my #YunoHost system.
Speaking of YH, in case you missed it, here is my latest guide for newbies about how to install an app with YunoHost - I showcased NextCloud in my tutorial: blog.elenarossini.com/a-newbie…
I'm always surprised by the sheer size of backups - this time 15GB (ugh!) broken down as follows (from biggest to smallest):
#GoToSocial: 6.2 GB
#PeerTube: 4.3 GB
#NextCloud: 3.0 GB
#Pixelfed: 1.5 GB
#LinkStack: 91 MB
I'm brainstorming ways to make my GoToSocial backup size go down... I have cache set to 1 day only, so I'm trying unfollowing a few accounts (that I already follow from my Mastodon profile) to see if that makes a difference.
Anyway, wishing you all a great day & week!

Object Total Local
Attachments 7.28 GB 189 MB
Custom Emoji 1.76 GB 543 KB
Avatars 1.27 GB 189 KB
Headers 2.13 GB 865 KB
Preview Cards 182 MB
Backups 0 Bytes
Settings 933 KB
I keep 3 days of data.
IIRC my GTS is about the same size, as is Friendica.
Unless you're actually running out of space, you should not drop accounts you follow just to safe a few MB.

re: unfollowing, there are a lot of overlaps between my GoToSocial and my Mastodon accounts, so if I unfollow someone here, I would still see their content from my Mastodon. But I hear what you say!

Als Antwort auf Franz Graf • • •I was going through YunoHost's documentation yesterday and they recommend testing the restore function.
Now, my backups are so big and contain such precious data that I never dared do so... I may try from my second VPS that runs Umami, CryptPad and Wordpress.
As a backup strategy, I also have full daily backups done automatically by my VPS, with servers in multiple locations...

I have restored several applications without problems, e.g. Mastodon and Friendica.
Peertube, however, does not work in its current state. Backup yes, restore fails every time.

So it's always important to test restores or at least check the repositories regularly for signs of problems.
