Comment on 3-2-1 Backups: How do you do the 1 offsite backup?

The best part about sync thing is that you can set it to untrusted at the target. The data all gets encrypted and is not accessible whatsoever and the other side.

This is exactly what I’m about to do (later this week when I visit their house)

I’ve been using syncthing for years, but any tips for the encryption?

I was going to use SendOnly at my end to ensure that the data at the other end is an exact mirror, but in that case, how would the restore work if it’s all encrypted?

  You add another node to the untrusted node (or the reinstalled current node) and let it sync back.
  
  alternatively there’s a decrypt command, you could go to the untrusted mode, copy the data off to a disk and decrypt it with the tool but I think that f’s up the structure.
