I’m trying to plan a better backup solution for my home server. Right now I’m using Duplicati to back up my 3 external drives, but the backup is staying on-site and on the same kind of media as the original. So, what does your backup setup and workflow look like? Discs at a friend’s house? Cloud backup at a commercial provider? Magnetic tape in an underground bunker?

    3 backups:

    • phone data is synced to a nvme drive (1) which holds all the data of my homelab
    • This nvme is backed up to a nvme (2) drive on the same device via backrest
    • The nvme is also synced via Diplicati to a cloud storage provider (3)

    2 locations: home and cloud

    1… what was 1 again?

      • Maintain three (3) copies of your data: This includes the original data and at least two copies.
      • Use two (2) different types of media for storage: Store your data on two distinct forms of media to enhance redundancy.
      • Keep at least one (1) copy off-site: To ensure data safety, have one backup copy stored in an off-site location, separate from your primary data and on-site backups.

      You have 3 copies, one on your phone and nvme, one on the backup nvme and one in the cloud. You have 2 media, internal SSD and cloud (your phone would count as a third if it wasn’t auto synced) You have 1 off-site in the cloud

        I might be the weird one, but I never consider the phone copy as valid for 321. I have so many photos that they don’t fit, so most are already not there anymore.

        Server/htpc + desktop (with delay, I turn it on sparsely) + b2
