Ask HN: What is your approach for managing personal digital assets?
I religiously use Google contacts. It's the simplest way to keep people contacts up to date on Android.
I archive all important documents in specific folders by subject and date. This is backed up to back blaze with restic. https://restic.net/
I use https://ente.io for pictures. I convinced my wife to use it, and she agreed to auto share her photos so I don't nag her for copies. It had simple import from Facebook and Google.
I also keep extensive journals, which really helps to tie it all together. I can basically grep for hangouts, conversations, etc.
I also separate work journal from personal, and have essentially a journal for each project. https://jodavaho.io/tags/bullet-journal.html for how.
I religiously use Google calendar for all plans, you can easily search it for past events to get dates.
I also use monicahq for some notes about things I should remember about people but the habit never stuck.

Duplicity
+1 for restic. I tried various solutions and restic is the best by far. So fast, so reliable.
After Borg, I switched to Restic:
AFAIK, the only difference is that Restic doesn't require Restic installed on the remote server, so you can efficiently backup to things like S3 or FTP. Other than that, both are fantastic.
https://apps.gnome.org/DejaDup/ is using this as backend. It also has a experimental option to use https://github.com/restic/restic instead of duplicity.

The Drive Stats of Backblaze Storage Pods
I'm curious, too. I know they've had some issues in the past:
https://github.com/restic/restic/issues/3268#issuecomment-78...
On the other hand, I tested around 15,000 backups last year (multiple hourly backups, daily tests) and they all passed.
I use B2 as the backend for my personal backups using restic (which I would highly recommend https://github.com/restic/restic). I don't have a ton of data to backup, so even with hourly backups (restic only backs up when there are changes) I have ~100GB and it runs me a whopping $0.60/month. I almost feel guilty when I get the bill. But the minute I need to pick a storage platform in a professional context I know what my first choice will be.
(I am _not_ affiliated with Backblaze in anyway. Just a happy user)

Bandcamp support is faltering – maybe you should download your music now
More importantly you have the possibility to get lossless music files.
If you download from bandcamp then currently only in flac and backup the results with programs like restic [1] just as you should back up all other data.
You should always make a second copy fo any further changes if you rewrite tags or encode to other formats like mp3.

Escaping Surveillance Capitalism, at Scale
Two things I want to try this month are:
- Backup software that continuously monitors changes but runs only once a month
-
Not openSUSE specific but what's the best backup utility?
I'm using rsnapshot. It's based on rsync. It's fully automated and I make daily and monthly backups backup to my NAS. The biggest benefit of rsnapshot is that it uses hardlinks. So only changed files are backed up. It doesn't have a GUI though, you have to set a configuration file.

Python Port of 600 Line Bash Script: rsync-time-machine.py for Rsync Backups
The description sounds like it does largely the same job as rsnapshot (https://rsnapshot.org/). What does yours do differently from rsnapshot?
- Redundancy and bit-rot protection on a single drive

Which service to backup your important files ?
rsnapshot for data. ansible [1] for config management no backing up configuration is not needed, just revert configuration changes in ansible and re-apply. Occasional libvirt VM snapshots before risky operations.

Ask HN: How do you manage your important personal documents and other data?
> where do you store and backup your personal data
A RAID array of physical drives in a local PC.
> How do you run your backups?
rsnapshot (https://rsnapshot.org/) driven from cron.
> How do you manage encryption keys, etc?
Stored in files on plural disks plus a printed to paper backup.
> What considerations drove your solution?
Must be 100% under my control -- "someone else's disks" must not ever be the primary backup medium.
