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?

    • 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
