I could never bear the stress of being in charge of someone else's photo backups.
Especially when the option is just for them to pay $10 or something to a huge company that'll have pretty much 100% uptime and zero chance of lost files.
- LilBytes 3y agoIts really not that hard. Just don't fuck around with backups, throw them all into Backblaze B2, S3 or what ever else. I have the same setup as the person you're commenting to, initial setup was easy. Just test out your backup strategy thoroughly.
- theshrike79 3y agoThis is a proper HN reply, two counts of "just" =) If it was a matter of "just" not fucking around and "just testing out the strategy", everyone would just resell B2/S3 capacity with a markup. Having the only copy of someone's family photos is not a responsibility I'm willing to have. YMMV though and more power to you if you want to do that.
