LND - concerned about funds in lightning channels if BTCPay Server SSD Crashes #372

I realize I can backup the channel state. But is there a more elegant way to ensure no need for "recovery" with an old channel state, and just be able to pick up where I left off?

I backup complete /var/lib/docker/volumes directory each week. But I feel it is not enough.

Does anyone have a really bulletproof always "in-sync" backup solution, whereby if the SSD drive containing /var/lib/docker/volumes crashes, I can just restore everything, and start the server back up again within a day or two, with lighting channels intact?

Can't help on my side. I gave up backup with lightning, the UX is too terrible. Just crossing finger it does not crash and not keeping lot's of money there.

Aha. It's disheartening that you say that ;) but I do share the same sentiment!

starting in lnd 0.13 they are offering etcd clustering (still experimental), that seems to be only other alternative to mirroring the drive lnd lives on.
