    I store everything on my laptop, full disk encryption.

    My phone is synced to my laptop via Syncthing so I have a copy of everything.

    Passwords in keepass, Syncthinged.

    I back everythinhg up every month or two on a USB drive using ansible by creating a big gpg encrypted archive. The process is automated for both archiving and restoring; had to use restore I think 3 times in the past.

    Code here: https://gitlab.com/sdwolfz/dotfiles follow the rabbit hole from `make backup`.

    This works for me as I don't keep around things I don't need. Every once in a while I look around and delete things that have no use for me, and reorganise information. Especially pictures!

    I don't trust any "cloud backups" as security for me has 2 important sides: 1. Phisical access. And 2. Encryption strength. Sacrificing point 1 for convenience is unthinkable to me as that is the most important part I consider.
