I have a full sync of my cloud storage on my media PC, which rsync's nightly to an external drive. I have another external drive that lives at work, which I bring home and sync every month or so. In theory I think that covers most scenarios I care about (cloud provider failure, HDD failure, house fire etc).
It has been a long time since I used Drive, so I can't remember if has a Dropbox-like desktop sync app, so this may not apply.
- alexey-salmin 3y agoDoes rsync replicate or ignore file deletion?
- Yodel0914 3y agoIt depends on what flags you call it with - it can do either.
- alexey-salmin 3y agoSurely, but in your setup?
- Yodel0914 3y agoI have it mirror deletes. I'm comfortable enough with this because my cloud storage provider has version history and deleted file restoration, plus my air-gapped month-old backup gives me some time to notice any accidental deletes. I used to have it not mirror deletes, but then if you ever have to do a full restore it's a bit of a mess.
