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! 2! 1!” Is just what I say when doing some potentially deleterious action after rsyncing a few key directories to a separate volume
A usb stick and an old hard drive from 2009. The crackhead way of dealing with backups.
my backup is staring longingly at LTO drives and wishing they would magically be affordable.
3 sticky notes telling me to “go get that incremental backup working”,
2 separate external hard drives,
1 month out of dateSame lol. Can’t be that catastrophic. Right? …. Right?
DO NOT follow my lead, my backup solution is scuffed at best.

I have:
- RAID1 array w/ 2 drives
- Photos on the device that took them
- Photos on a random old hard drive pulled from an ancient apple mac.

I’ve got a hard drive and flash memory?

Don’t have this at all, the closest is that my phone is off-site half of the day.
Real selfhosters know
I dump my encrypted data to someone who probably practices 3-2-1 rule (which is Backblaze for me). I mean, these guys back up data for a living.
