The database is at the core of our business.
But there has to be a better way to create automatic backups.
The way I currently do it is with cronjobs and scripts that move the transaction logs to another cloud provider (every xx minutes) and do a full backup every night.
Is this really the way to do this?
Now, apps and websites force 2FA on me in the name of better security.
But I don't 100% understand these systems, and I feel like I can't be the only one.
Mostly, I'm scared of losing access to things that are important for my business.
Some random questions:
- if I use an authenticator app, like Google Authenticator, how does that even work? What happens if Google decides to close my account? How do I backup these apps?
- if I use SMS authentication, what happens if I lose my phone number? Ie through an error of the phone company, or myself.
- in general: are there any 2FA systems that are as clear and easy to understand as my old system (keepass + backups + long, always different passwords for every service)?
