Language warning.

Documented my journey backing up my Oracle Cloud server. With their latest changes to always free, I don’t think my instance will last very long. This isn’t a tutorial, there are probably many much better ways to do this.

Yeah that's a reasonable way to take a backup. I mean I would have recommended an actual backup tool, but dd is perfectly good. Especially since you zeroed as much as you can, since you didn't have a tool skipping unused blocks.

But the Wi-Fi bit was pretty gross, yeah. Fine to test but never ever for something I actually wanted to use.
