     @hypolite I really, really need to set up an off-site backup for my home server. The server I run this on is configured in raidz2, but no excuse for not having snapshots elsewhere, especially when it's very robust, as is the case for zfs. Message received. ? A good winter break project!

     Are there any good guides on how to backup Mastodon and restore it from backups?

     Well the problem for me is it's more like backups are cool. But doesn't include things like here are the cronjobs you should have.
