From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Most of my data are on 2x16TB HDDs running an mdraid1 and then I backup it all to a usb drive with Borg Backup.
The os.qcow2 files live on my m.2 NVMe and are manually backuped to the mdraid1 before running the borg backup.
I should automate the borg backup but currently I just do it manually a few times a month.
Would also like to have two usb drives and keep one offline in another part of the house but that's another future project.
