The scale of data ... Why I'm having such a hard time.
Honestly, the more that I try to organise my data, the more I realise that honestly, I might be in over my head.
Using various YouTube videos on backups is actually a really good starting point.
Backups: You're doing 'em wrong!
by Jeff Geerling
Jeff groups data into six distinct buckets;
- Photo Library
- Music Library
- Dropbox
- Local Files (Mac)
- OSS Code
- Video Content
Whilst this is a good starting point, the Dropbox, Local Files (Mac) & OSS code buckets aren't accurate to my personal infrastructure.
My personal buckets
I would say that I have 12 buckets, instead of the 6 that Jeff has. Mine are;
- @adult - Use your imagination
- @archives - Exactly what you'd expect.
- @audio - Not just music, but podcasts, m3u-type playlists, recordings, sound effects and more.
- @documents - Pretty sure you can guess what goes here.
- @games - Come on now, should be self-explanatory.
- @images - Pictures, memes, any kind of image.
- @inbox - Where everything gets dumped prior to being sorted.
- @literature - "Books! Best weapons in the world!"
- @projects - Where I have all of my public and private git repos.
- @software - The standard stuff you'd expect but also stuff like fonts, firmware and OS images.
- @video - I don't think I need to explain this, TV shows, movies, etc.
