You seem to conflate backups with off-site backups, and concluding that off-site backups are hard. However, nothing in this story would require off-site backups. A separate backup server on-site would have been fine here.
Of course, off-site backups are good, but would not have been actually needed in this case.
- christophilus 5y agoWas going to say the same. Anyway, off-site backups aren’t that expensive, if you go with Backblaze or Wasabi. $5/TB/mo.
- jewel 5y agoIf you have a lot of data then a cheaper choice would be to put a raspberry pi at your mom's house, add a few external drives, forward a port, and send backups with restic.
