jeremycherfas !tell miklb I finally created a cron job to rsync wp-content to Dropbox. Now to figure out something for the data dump

[miklb] !tell jeremycherfas I plan to do something like this https://deliciousbrains.com/backup-wordpress-amazon-glacier/
# jeremycherfas That's pretty straightforward. I do have S3 buckets, but I've also got space on DropBox.

Loqi jeremycherfas: [miklb] left you a message 3 minutes ago: I plan to do something like this https://deliciousbrains.com/backup-wordpress-amazon-glacier/
# jeremycherfas I think maybe if I run the mysql dump as a cron job on the server, then I can rync the whole kit and caboodle.
# jeremycherfas My AWS bill is a bit more than that because I host my podcast audio files there.

petermolnar I don't recommend glacier
# petermolnar glacier is not a backup solution, it's an archive solution
# petermolnar in case of wp, I may even consider services like https://vaultpress.com/plans/
# petermolnar jeremycherfas this is what I'm doing: https://gist.github.com/petermolnar/f22a8c80dbc412b8c0f0936346b52ff2
# petermolnar after that, it's rsynced to another machine

# jeremycherfas That is really clear; thanks petermolnar. Working through those commands will help me understand a lot.
# petermolnar note: `` and $() are (more or less) equivalent in bash and I'm rather sphoradic using one or the other
# petermolnar sorry about that

# jeremycherfas I had no idea that WP security depended on volunteers.
# petermolnar it sums up how impossible is these days to push anything into WP is it's not aligned with the next release priorities
# petermolnar even if it's a vulnerability fix
# petermolnar geez. I've opened this 2 years ago, it's literally one line change, completely ignored: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/33003

# petermolnar oh, I did
# petermolnar than again, I abused WP quite well
# petermolnar I'm slowly reading that vulnerability disclosure through, I'm astonished: WP should have started using a proper database abstraction library about a decade ago instead of writing it's own
# petermolnar this is ridiculous
