I'm using Arq (https://www.arqbackup.com/ https://www.arqbackup.com/) with Google Cloud Storage. Arq is a stand alone backup program that supports a bunch of different storage providers. From their site:
> Amazon Cloud Drive, Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Storage, Google Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive accounts, or your SFTP server or NAS.
It encrypts locally so I don't have to worry about the backup company reading my files.
I have 3 backups configured. One for "Documents" which backs up everyday. Another for Photos (which are stored locally on an external HD) and another for Music (which apparently everyone but me doesn't own music anymore and just uses Spotify) both of which I run manually once in a while. If I ever get a desktop again I'll make those automated.
I deleted my entire hard drive by accident 5 months ago so since that time I also started using Time Machine to an external drive. It starts nagging me every 10 days to plug it in.
Also use Google Photo's free service not as backup but just as access to my photos. Earlier this year I uploaded all 130k photos at their "free" resolution
I don't backup work. Work does that. Most of it is in git. Same with personal projects. It's all on github.
- aosaigh 10y agoI really wish Arq would make a unix app. If so I would buy licenses for all my machines.
