Comment on 3-2-1 Backups: How do you do the 1 offsite backup?
Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 days agoOnly back up the essentials like photos and documents or rare media.
Don’t care about stuff like Avengers 4K that can easily be reaquired
This is what I’m currently doing, I use backblaze b2 for basically everything that’s not movies/shows/music/roms.
My next plan is to get a big ass external HDD that I’ll update once a month and keep in my storage unit. Cloud storage gets pricy past the first couple TB.
I don’t have Avengers 4K. It’s all just Linux ISOs.

a “poor mans” backup can be useful for things like this, movie/tv/music collections, and will only be a few MB instead of TB.
if things go south at least you can rebuild your collection in time. obviously if there are some rare files that were hard to get then you can backup those ones up, but even at that it will probably still be a small backup

Yup. My “essential” backups are well under 1TB, the rest can be reacquired.
