Depending on the Data Amount, having them in a OneDrive and Local should be sufficient. If they are too sensitive to be put in a SaaS solution (GDrive OneDrive etc) you could Encrypt them or use an External Drive or both. As long as you make reliably Copies it is sufficient.mimi wrote: Mon Mar 10, 2025 6:35 pm do you guys have any tips for someone who can't afford a complex backup system atm? :p

Re: Backups
Re: Backups
My backup routine is all over the place. I have several issues with it. I cannot automate it right now, and I have trouble doing off-site backups. I also have a MySQL database that might not be properly backed up, as you probably have to stop the database and do an export, to properly back it up.
Currently, I back up my home directory on my laptop over SSH to an external drive on my home server. My home server's whole filesystem gets backed up to that disk as well.
My external disk is 1 TB. My laptop is 150 GB. My server is 1 TB but doesn't have too much space used.
I need help.
Also, I can't afford offsite, online backups, so I'll have to make do with backing up offsite only once a week, when I can physically transfer the backup disks to another household.
