Comment on Backups: Am I doing this right?
RadDevon@lemmy.zip 1 week agoHad considered a device with some storage at a family member’s house, but then I’d have to maintain that, fix it if it goes down, replace it if it breaks, etc. I think I’d prefer a small monthly fee for now, even if it may work out more expensive in the long run.
Good call on the cost calculation. I’ll take another look at those factors…

There’s also the option of just leaving an offline disk at someone’s and visiting them regularly to update the backup.
Having an entirely offline copy also protects you/mitigates against a few additional hazards.
