Waiting for a C&D from Discord. I’m avoiding on that premise alone.

I was using Veeam when my stack was on VMware, but after moving to Proxmox I’ve been unable to get the Veeam agent working properly for VM recovery. I tried Proxmox Backup at one point, and while it did work for base VM backup, the interface and capabilities of it just don’t stack up to Veeam in my opinion, and I’m more concerned about file backup than VM recovery as I can easily recreate anything in my stack through my documentation. I’m actually glad you mentioned that because I do need to revisit it. The few times I did have to recover the VM from backup I was able to do so when my backup process was working, but I’ve thankfully not had any recovery situations in the past 2 or so years since moving to Proxmox. And recovery doesn’t help in situations where your cert is expired which is usually my issue historically. As for past email recovery, Mailcow does have documentation on recovering from a failed server\database, but I consider my personal deployment volatile since I’m only using it for alerting and mostly internal only services. I would fully switch over to it if I had more personal time, and if I knew I could make my family comfortable with accessing it. But right now I feel the risk is too great to move anything personally or financially important over. In the event something bad were to happen to me, I’m the only one with knowledge on how to recover the environment and I don’t need my family to take on that burden if I were to become incapacitated or forbid, pass away suddenly.

Mailcow internal on Debian VM. SMTP2Go free external relay. Have had the occasional issue after an upgrade or reboot can’t find my LetsEncrypt cert and will bork the system until I manually fix it. Perhaps my latest script update finally resolved that. Otherwise, not that bad. Been running my own email for about 5 years or so. I don’t sign up for many outside services with it. It’s mainly for internal alerting or testing purposes but still works very well.

The only BNPL service I ever use is PayPal. The math shows no interest and it will literally take out 1\4 of the total cost over a two month period which works great for me as I’m paid no weekly. Any other BNPL service is stupid because of the extra credit cost your paying on top of your carts price.
