I told you last episode that the homelab made my career. And I was deliberately vague about which part of it actually did that, which in hindsight was a bit of a cop-out. So let me be specific now, because the answer is the least glamorous thing in the entire rack. Backups. I work in backups. That is probably one of the most boring ways to open a blog post, and I’m going to spend the next fifteen hundred words on it anyway, because it’s the one corner of this hobby where being wrong actually costs you something.
