Keep it simple. No raid or weird filesystems, no special NAS computers, no encryption, no remote services. I stuff every computer I assemble with hard drives until it can support no more then mirror important data from every computer to every other computer with rsync.

- irrational 4y agoBut, are all those computers in the same location? Just one fire away from losing everything? I have all my photos and videos on local storage, but it is all mirrored to a secure cloud storage service that costs hardly anything. I’ve pulled the backups from that cloud service (you can’t access the files directly) to make sure it works properly.
- throwamon 4y ago> a secure cloud storage service that costs hardly anything Which is...?

- mxuribe 4y agoI'm really curious to learn which cloud service that you use which "costs hardly anything". Would you kindly share?
- irrational 4y agoCrashplan. I’ve also heard good things about Backblaze.
- mxuribe 4y agoThanks for sharing! I don't know why i thought crashplan went out of business (i guess i must be thinking of another provider). Now, looking at their pricing, its really great! Thanks again!
- irrational 4y agoWell… they used to provide services for individuals, but then they decided to drop that and only support businesses. Since I was under a multi year contract, they moved me over to a small business account and they have let me stay there ever since.
