Speaking of backups, what do you all do for yours? I’m embarrassed to admit I only do a weekly backup to a portable drive for my personal data, and mostly use automated snapshots on aws for database contents.
- xur17 7y agoI recently purchased a Synology NAS that does automated nightly backups to wasabi. Everything I care about is either on the backed up drive of the nas, or in git repositories. My rule is that I should be able to wipe any of my computers at any time, and pick up where I left off with a few hours of work.

For that I download the hundreds of gigs of Google takeout and upload it to backblaze. I ought to automate it. I'm mostly saying this out loud for the chance someone will point out an issue or optimization for my strategy.
