What are you doing for your backups?

  1,233 3,025 9.2 Java

  Wrapper of syncthing for Android.

  

I use Duplicati to make proper backups. I have a pair of Raspberry Pis with USB external drives that I use as the backup targets over SSH. I keep one Pi at home and the other at a remote location. If you have a friend that needs a backup solution too, this method lends itself to splitting the cost, where you buy one Pi+HDD and your friend buys the other and you each provide off-site backups for the other. I configure Duplicati to make backups over SSH to the local Pi at my house. The backups are de-duplicated and encrypted. I use Syncthing to sync the local Pi at my house with the one at the remote location. Your friend can also back up locally to the Pi at his house and his backups will get synced to your Pi. This gives both of you fast backups to your local Pi, and off-site copies on the remote Pi in case of a fire. Since the external drives containing the backups are never connected to your PC, it also provides pretty good protection in case of ransomeware or malware.
