How I backed up and booted locally my entire VPS (igerman.cc)

Language warning.

Documented my journey backing up my Oracle Cloud server. With their latest changes to always free, I don’t think my instance will last very long. This isn’t a tutorial, there are probably many much better ways to do this.

Way over my head for filthy casual like me, but I get the gist.

I also have OCI instance (it just run wireguard), so what is the proper way of doing this?

[–] german@pawb.social 1 points 1 day ago

Not sure, I would guess paying Oracle for another instance, attaching the target boot drive as a separate one to it and backing it up non-live, and to a better storage provider than NFS over Tailscale.

Or someone also said their custom images thing has a download option. That also needs payment.
