Google Drive as a first line of defence. It's been solid for a really long time. However, Google Accounts get shut down without warning sometimes.
I also run hourly rsync backups to my home server, and propagate them to a Hetzner file storage server. This is done by my timeline thing [0]. The timeline thing backs up files from multiple devices, but also geolocation, social media posts, and other data I consider valuable. It's extensible, so I can add new inputs/outputs as needed.
Whatever your backup strategy is, consider the following threats:
- Your files are held hostage by ransomware, and the damage spreads to your backup
- Your house is destroyed by fire
- You lose your 2FA device
- You are locked out of your Google/Apple/Microsoft account
- You are incapacitated, and someone needs to take over
I have 4 of those factors covered. I am working on the last point.
