I just want to know one thing: is Dropbox a sufficient backup strategy to prevent this problem? Obviously it's enough to prevent a naive ransomeware. Can they get around Dropbox's automatic 30 day version history by some means? They can presumably have total control over my account.
- derekp7 9y agoThe only protection I would trust, is a separate system makes inbound connections to my computer to pull a backup. Or push a backup to another computer, through a login ID that lets me write a backup but not delete / alter previous ones.
- tgb 9y agoYes, that sounds like what I'd like. But where can I find something like that accessible to consumers? Are there roll-your-own methods using AWS or similar that have reasonable costs?
- sekh60 9y agoWhat I do is a little complex, but works fairly well. I store my data in CephFS, mount that read-only (CephX permission also allow only read access) on a Linux box with a ZFS array which uses borg to copy from the mount to the array. The backup box also runs crashplan to back up from the mount.
