Interesting! So, you’d still back up your full cloud storage elsewhere (Backblaze has been mentioned by other users), even though your cloud storage provider does backups themselves (e.g. Hetzner claims to do several backups every day)?
- dspillett 4y agoNot full, but anything that is not easily replaceable. My documents, code, photos & videos, ete. This sort of stuff is on at least two providers as well as any original copies or copies synced/cached on other devices. And one of the backups is "soft offline" to ward against malicious tampering taking out everything (originals, backups, synced copies) in one swoop. A small selection of things (keepass db, a few legal documents, …) get the full offline backup treatment. Anything I'm only keeping for convenience or sending cloudwards for transfer/sharing purposes, doesn't need the extra protection. Though it sometimes gets it as errors in that direction are better than risking failing not-safe with other data.
- herrherrmann 4y agoI see, thanks for the details! I’ve never considered differentiating between different levels of “importance” and thus different backup strategies, but it makes a lot of sense!
