   Excellent backup service

   By far the best backup service I've used. Reasonably simple to use but also extremely powerful. Support is excellent and the Snapshooter team have been highly responsive and are pro-active in adding new features and backup "recipes" for common scenarios. Once you're comfortable with the process, setting up a new server connection and backup jobs takes just a few minutes.

   👎 Cons:    Long lists of jobs unwieldy

   Backup with clarity

   Backups, done.

   A good range of options for backups of files to config and previous databases and much more. Only use a handful of integrations. Lots of options around scheduling.

   All administered from an easy to use web interface.

   Use their storage or your own is flexible to ensure multiple copies reside.

   Restore is good too, that’s quite important I’m told ;) clear to see steps needed.

   The support is great and responsive too.

   My con is in the context of wanting certain integrations without the rest of the higher plan features. It’s a minor niggle really :)

   👍 Pros:    Ease of use|Clean ui|Support team always ready|Reliable|Reports

   👎 Cons:    Costly pro plan

  I run daily snapshots on my Hetzner VPS with https://snapshooter.com (it just triggers a shapshot daily via Hetzner API, I do it while the server is running), and sometimes the snapshotting absolutely wrecks my server:. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Why SQL is right for Infrastructure Management

  SQL immediately stands out here because it was designed for making relational algebra, the other side of the Entity-Relationship model, accessible. There are likely more people who know SQL than any programming language (for IaC) or data format you could choose to represent your cloud infrastructure. Many non-programmers know it, as well, such as data scientists, business analysts, accountants, etc, and there is... - Source: dev.to / about 1 year ago

• Ask HN: Hunting for a Framework

  Vapor[0] based on Swift. Advantage of this is that you don't have to evaluate multiple frameworks for Swift and suffer paralysis by analysis. All the Swift community is behind one framework. The next is Actix[1] based on Rust. There are many frameworks in Rust and most of them have not reached 1.0 And which framework will survive becomes a question.
