backups

all service and home data is backed up automatically every night.

opting out#

you can opt out of backups by creating a .nobackup file in your home directory:

$ touch ~/.nobackup

you can also exclude specific sub-directories by placing a .nobackup file inside them:

$ touch ~/some/subdir/.nobackup

this will prevent your home directory (and any marked sub-directories) from being included in future backups.

NOTE: this will cause you to lose your home directory when we migrate servers or suffer data loss. make sure you know what you're doing.
