You just need another house to burn down.
Don't you have friends or relatives at a reasonable distance who can set up mutual backups on each other's home servers?
- GordonS 9y agoYes, but nobody else with a FTTC internet connection with an unlimited bandwidth allowance (I'm in the UK). I have 2TB of data, so speed is important.
- creepydata 9y agoI don't have a single friend that has a home server. Most adults don't even own computers anymore, just phones and perhaps an iPad.
- ytjohn 9y agoA good scenario is building a backup server/nas solution that you can put in a little cubby at your friends place. There's trust involved that you're not using their internet to hack the government, and you have to be mindful of their bandwidth/power costs. So not a rackmount server or even a tower, but something much smaller and very appliance looking. A nuc sitting atop a wd passport or their "my book". If it provides them a benefit like an in-house plex server, even better.
