... and as a EU project private alternative to the likes of Dropbox, there's Duple, an app that gives you your full private Dropbox at home. Self-hosted, E2EE, and works just like a Dropbox (currently in beta): https://www.duple.io/en/ https://www.duple.io/en/
- fulafel 7y ago"E2EE coming soon"
- iagovar 7y agoIt actually looks very cool, I'm going to try it. What would be the business model?
- OldSchoolJohnny 7y agoHow does it protect your data if your house burns down?
- bcrosby95 7y agoDropbox isn't a backup anyways. Have an offsite backup that is encrypted. Could be the cloud, could be a hard drive you keep at your parents' house.
- magashna 7y agoNot how does it, how do you. You should spread the data to an offsite or secondary location.
- deanCommie 7y agoSo, a backup solution where part of the instructions is..."another backup solution" Come on.
- magashna 7y agoUh, yeah? A common rule in IT is 3-2-1 backups. 3 copies 2 different devices or medias 1 offsite If your data isn't that important, then don't. https://www.us-cert.gov/sites/default/files/publications/data_backup_options.pdf https://www.us-cert.gov/sites/default/files/publications/dat...
- deanCommie 7y agoA) Cloud backup solutions already abstract away replicating multiple copies for redundancy. Unless Google/Dropbox/Amazon/Microsoft go out of business, you are not likely to lose data from your backup via act of god (aka data center fire) B) The simple interface of web solutions is still ultimately that if you want redundancy, just pick 2 (or 3) different providers. Myself - I use Google Drive for backup of my most core files, and Backblaze for the whole shabang.
- magashna 7y agoRight, so you have as part of your backup solution "another backup solution"
- deanCommie 7y agoMy point is backup that's not Offsite is not backup at all.
- exolymph 7y agoDefense in depth applies to reliability of backups as well as security :P
- upofadown 7y agoIf that is really something to worry about you can just copy stuff off and drop the copy off at a relatives house. These days you can get 1-2TB 2.5" drives for cheap. Off site storage has become reasonably convenient even if you are moving physical objects around.
- __jal 7y agoThere is this practice called "backing up". If you try it, you might find you can protect your data more easily than you can protect most other things in your house if it burns down.
