Google's "business" model has been in question for years now, I now am extra glad that I already downloaded all my data from Google, acquired my own domain and set up a nextcloud server. If I need more space, I buy another/larger hard drive, and never need to worry about data collection, services shutting down or prices changing.
- masterofmisc 6y agoBut what do you do for off-site back though? Do you have a strategy for the 'house burning down' scenario?
- MKinley 6y agoYes I do, offline and offsite backup of important and valuable data stored on a HDD at my parents. Not the most seemless or user friendly options, but the privacy and security of my data is more important. I have also considered looking into mirroring my data on a trusted hosting provider for some day when I can afford to pay.
- masterofmisc 6y agoYeah, that's a good strategy I suppose even if you do need to cart around a HDD to update every so often. You just need to make sure your parents backup is updated periodically.
- MKinley 6y agoThe carting around and updating is made simpler with a tool I have found and love, free file sync. One of the few tools I buy into (even though its free).
- masterofmisc 6y agoChecking it out now.
