GOODSYNC GOOGLE DOCS FREE
Once you buy GoodSync (the free version can only backup/sync 100 files) and set it up, you just open the application and click “New Job”. It’s also great for people who want more advanced setups, like backing up Digital Ocean Spaces every hour to their Google Drive, keeping deleted files 30 days in a bin and keeping multiple versions of files. Goodsync is a great solution for people like them. However, some people are not really comfortable with this approach and prefer to use a GUI. If you’re familiar with writing scripts, you could easily write a cron job that backups all your files in Digital Ocean Spaces.
Since Digital Ocean Spaces uses the S3-protocol, it’s luckily quite easy to set up your own back-up. I even read a Reddit post about someone who lost all his data while using Digital Ocean Spaces, so these things happen and you should prepare for it. Digital Ocean doesn’t back-up your Digital Ocean Spaces, they trust that you know your way around cloud computing and that you have your own back-ups. No problem right, just have to get the back-ups from Digital Ocea.oh, they don’t exist. Imagine that you write a script with a fatal error (I know you don’t make errors, but just imagine) that actually deletes files from your Digital Oceans Spaces container. The opposite is true as well, you can’t trust yourself that you will not mess things up.
The thing is, relying on third parties is always a bad thing, you should only rely on yourself. When you’re using a cloud storage service like Digital Ocean Spaces, you rely on Digital Ocean that your files are safe. My files are safe in Digital Ocean Spaces, right? It’s clear that I need to have backups of my Digital Ocean Spaces and you should too. Since I’m using Digital Ocean for the delivery of web assets for multiple websites, this data is very crucial and losing the files would be disastrous. I’m also very paranoid when it comes to backing up data. I’m a huge fan of Digital Ocean and love using their products.
