Modern filesystems like ZFS have snapshots and the ability to incrementally copy those around even over the network. I'd suggest considering using those instead of something that operates on top of the filesystem.

if you are looking at this from the US that is not necessarily the only thing that could be driving prices up though. You've got tariffs and a much weaker dollar than it used to be right now...
Very sorry to hear that, a legend has passed. Just watched LGR's react to the Computer Chronicles 1987 Christmas Episode the other day... I may need to schedule a Computer Chronicles marathon soon in light of this news.
At the very least it would buy more time as they are not just doing whatever the leader of the other party demands of them. As long as democracy is functioning enough for it to even be possible for the opposition candidates to win you should do everything you can to make that happen. It's a whole different ballgame when that slips away.
Ideally (when it comes to the US) what stops him is that those kinds of orders would not be carried out or state officials would resist them. If that doesn't happen it could be a Ukraine's Maidan type situation where violence against protestors only creates more anger and eventually the pressure on politicians in power is high enough for them to do something. For Trump that would be enough Republicans finally standing up for the people instead of sucking up to the wannabe dictator...
Without a connected political action that the energy is channeled into the protests would be ineffective but the political action can be just people voting en masse as long as there are still fair elections where they can do that.
You don't because everything here's based on communities while Mastodon is on individual users. If you'd like something that does both in a single platform I think Mbin would be the best bet (although you can interact with Lemmy communities using Mastodon and other microblogging platforms to some extent)
Another vote for NeoDB. It's been very useful for me and more people on fedi need to know about it.
Well there's software that can make it easier. Just an option. For ZFS specifically there's zfs_autobackup which I've got experience with and I haven't tried this but just found out about a Web UI that works with it: https://github.com/natankeddem/bale
