Hello, so, I have been self-hosting some basic stuff recently, including data storage so i don’t have to rely on external services like google drive.
It’s working fine, but I wondered what would be the best backup solutions in case something unexpected and unfortunate happens (accidentally wipe out everything, drives dying, electrical issues, house burning down, that sort of thing).
I was wondering if more experienced self-hosters had recommendations about that ?
Maybe storing a physical drive in an especially sturdy box ? Perhaps using distant cold storage solutions ? Or even something I have never heard of ?
My server takes weekly backups via proxmox that are pushed to an NAS. The NAS backups and some additional files are copied up to filen.io for cloud storage. Probably not as professional as many of the setups you will see but it works for me.
