I’ve been backing up to a dedicated hard disk within the same server for all my backups in case my disks fail. And as I run more and more services, the concern of disks failures grow bigger.

I’m looking for a cheapish off-site backup solution and I’m just curious what everyone does for their 3-2-1 backup solutions.

          Cool, that’s a beefy machine. Way more expensive than I would be comfortable with but you do get lots of power.

      If you ever get raided by the Feds they’ll probably raid your friends and family’s houses too so it is generally advisable to avoid using friends and family for offsite storage.

          Given the shit I saw in Australia during the pandemic, I don’t trust the police or the government at all. I do everything I can to protect myself from them. Although I’m not worried, I do take steps to protect my data.

          Only if you know no government has ever lasted forever, and think humans are capable of great evil. Even if not…it’s just best practices…think about targeted attacks, corporate espionage, vengeance, things like that.

        If your data is such valuable, I’m sure you took the time to setup a complete encrypted system (LUKS).
