I have two external hard drives. I have a script (based on rsync) that does two kinds of backups: - "normal" backups (i.e., if I deleted a file in my computer, delete it also in my backup) - archival backups (i.e., never delete files from my backup, keep always a copy of everything) Some of my $HOME directories are selected for "normal" backups (e.g., images I may have in my computer, the Downloads directory, etc.), while others are selected for archival backups (i.e., source code, important files, music, etc.). I connect one hard drive at a time and run `./backup`. I usually backup my stuff twice per week or so. I check if my backups are fine every month or so. I don't backup to the cloud (although I have some stuff I don't mind losing like music, images, movies that I store in Google drive/Dropbox/etc. I also have some code repositories in GitLab/GitHub, but again I don't mind if I suddenly have no access to their cloud versions). But above all, I try to delete stuff as much as I can. My goal is to end up with a minimum amount of digital stuff (let's say, less than 4GB) that I can copy/carry easily. I want to be able to live without worrying about losing music/images/pictures/documents/books/code/etc.
