Back-ups

Back-up processes for the files on LucidLink are performed by the Mac Mini in the small meeting room. Cron tasks are set up to run rclone which handles the following processes;

• Clone all files on LucidLink to the studio-based NAS at 1000, 1400 and 1700 every weekday
• Synchronise all files on LucidLink to the studio-based NAS at 2000 every weekday
• Synchronise all files on the NAS to offsite AWS S3 bucket (lucidlink_backup) at 0100 every Saturday

The Mac Mini can be accessed either by screensharing or SSH - ssh dusted@192.168.194.58. It can only be accessed from within the studio (or via the VPN).

LucidLink is set to have a bandwidth limit of 20mbps on this Mac during the week to ensure it doesn't eat up all the studio bandwidth. It's set to unlimited at midnight on Saturday ready to do the weekly off-site back-up. This is done through cron tasks.

To see all the cron tasks run crontab -l to list them. Run crontab -e if you need to make changes.

Local back-up

This is stored on the NAS in the studio. All files on LucidLink are cloned into a folder called GDrive_backup (legacy name from the Google Drive days). The NAS can be accessed via AFP by visiting afp://192.168.195.220
