   Looks like a power outage during a bup backup killed the #Git repo it targeted and none of the rescue methods I’ve found have worked. Guess it’s time to switch to duplicity. 🤷

     And yes, I do have a UPS, but the power outage lasted for hours. Thanks, #Seattle City Light.

     @thatbrickster Yeah. If I'd been using duplicity the entire time, I could just delete the most recent backup and rerun it.

     @tk Concerning that a backup utility can corrupt the data it's meant to protect.

     @purple Maybe using a VCS backend for backups isn't such a great idea after all. :blobfoxgooglycry:

     Currently running a backup of my backps onto my server's /home partition before switching to duplicity.
     
     Really wish I already had that LTO-4 drive I've been planning on getting someday so I could throw it on a WORM tape.

     @tk At least I had a planned power outage and prepared.
