How fast is the restore from a rdiffweb? its pretty quick?
Was it easy to setup Dark?
reading the documentation right now - rdiff-backup + rdiffweb seems like a solid solution. https://clientarea.ramnode.com/cart.php?gid=11 and $20 a year - so if he has months of backups for *2 of a normal tar.gz 50GB is way more then enough for me at least. Getting the flow down with the database backup still needs to happen but this direction seems like the right one for me.
I have to clear up something: I have that NAS at home but we also use a QNAP rackserver NAS as a fileserver (our forum is pretty large and uses a lot of attachments too). Between those 2 QNAP's you can Rsync quite easily.Any tip on how to do that? I have a DiskStation DS213 and would like to backup my server into it.
rsync -avzr /yourwebserver/directory --password-file=/storage/rsyncd.secrets user@your_nas_ip::dest_dir/
I force myself to do a backup every Sunday night. It's usually quiet around then, so I can shut my forum for 10 minutes and do an SQL dump.

Mydumper locks tables by default. However, sometimes mydumper cannot finish the backup job (don't ask me why, no idea ) and the site would be down until I check it in the morning. So from my experience, I prefer to put a maintenance page, wait for 30 seconds, then start the dump. Once the backup is performed locally, I remove the maintenance page and start transferring everything to my NAS. It works flawless with this approach.Even with the --lock-tables option?

I'd rather not attempt to export the tables whilst the members still have free-roam and risk corrupted or discrepancies between tables. Let's say a user were to make a new thread after I had just finished backing up the xf_posts table. My stored backup would have record of a new thread but no record of any of the posts it contains. This is, unless I mis-understand how the export facility is supposed to work.No need to shutdown your forum to do a mysql dump.

Tell me, have I got it completely wrong? I've always closed my forum to run backups as a force of habit.

I build testing/dev installs from the backups, so I can be certain that everything works in reverse.
