Check if you get big memory spikes when transferring, or OOM entries in dmesg.

Had some trouble with a new samba install on Debian causing OOM issues recently (this was admittedly in LXC). Resulted in files apparently transfered but were not. This was due to optimistic locks, which are apparently poorly implemented (according to the 2-year old open bug) but on by default. I haven't done due diligence to say what's the best solution, I just turned oplocks off.

Media failure isn't the only reason to back up. If you delete a file on a RAID array, it's gone on all disks. If you need to recover that deleted file, you can't recover from RAID. The same goes for formatting/damage of the file system, recovery from something wrong inside a database, etc.

Wow. Lemmy's user base has really pidgeon-holed itself in these comments. Just observing, not critcizing. Interesting to see. Privacy to most people here means privacy from big tech and government. Responses are also largely technology-focused solutions rather than personal practices.

I'm going to throw "Don't give out your personal information" into the ring to round things out.
