Get two external hard drives and swap them into a fire safe occasionally.
That way if there’s a need to evacuate you can just grab the fire safe and run.

Verax@lemmy.world 2 days agoCould I go with an external hard drive and make a backup there? I don’t think an offside backup is possible for now only a cloud service would be an option.

I run backups to a USB drive which is way to grab in the event of an emergency. Just make sure you test them every more and again, and possibly only connect it when needed if you’re at all worried about malware (a cryptolocker will happily take out any attached storage if your machine is infected).

Yep, that would work fine for the first line of defense. Eventually, you can expand it to copy, replicate, or drive swap the onprem backups offsite somewhere (e.g., cloud, office, or family member) if you want to protect your data from site loss (e.g., house fire).

OK I think family is not an option so maybe I will take something like koofr into account
