This is why you want client side encrypted clients who treat your NAS/Cloud Account/HDD as dumb storage. This way it's easy to immediately verify on your client computer that entire CRUD cycle works fine, and continues to work fine.
It also allows you to have simple redundancy, so if your NAS setup fucks up, the cloud account and external hard drive version is still there.
- toomuchtodo 10y agoI dump GPG and Truecrypt files right into my 1TB Dropbox folder. Works fine, $10/month. I'd never go back to managing my own NAS locally.
- alexggordon 10y agoHave you tried out dropbox infinite yet with that setup?
- toomuchtodo 10y agoNot yet, although its on my TODO list.
- mahyarm 10y agoI do something similar too, but I have around 1TB of data, so a full restoration will be painful. Remembering to plug in an external hard drive is irritating so I want to get a NAS that my laptop auto connects to, like time machine. What do you think?
- toomuchtodo 10y agoTime Machine would work. Backblaze.com is an option as well ($5/month for unlimited storage, they'll backup an external drive) if you're looking for offsite backups.
- simonebrunozzi 10y agoExactly this.
- netheril96 10y agoIf anyone is interested in client side encryption, checkout my project securefs (https://github.com/netheril96/securefs https://github.com/netheril96/securefs). It is better than TrueCrypt as its encryption is randomized and authenticated, hence more secure, and it does not require preallocation of storage space.
- cyphar 10y agoWhy not GPG. Or a loopback device with dm-crypt (LUKS)?
- netheril96 10y agoGPG is not transparent. And its symmetric encryption is not authenticated. Neither is dm-crypt's.
