Realistically you shouldn’t depend on a single place for backups
Remember 3-2-1. Three places, two mediums and one offsite
Back up your backups
The 6-5-4-3-2-1 method
I’m doing a 5-4-3-2-1 method. 5 backups. 4 on-site. 3 attached to one machine, 2 of those are on separate external usb drives synced at different intervals. 1 in the shed.
The shed as an of site backup is a good idea.
We live in the shed (it is really its own entire stone building) during our full house renovation, so I have already run electrical and cat6a to the shed and have an old router in AP mode there.
Hooking up one of those NAS boards or a 2nd hand old PC there would be a good backup option.
Sheesh. Better setup a secondary destination for my customers just in case.
Certainly has me concerned. I’ll have to investigate a bit more into the financial solvency of the company to better understand whether they are at least covering bills and such… but honestly sounds like they aren’t and haven’t been.
Going to need to start looking for alternative S3 type storage.
Yeah, personally I’m optimistic, but I’d be in a boat of expecting access to be shut off one day, and ready to start uploading to a new provider at any moment
i wonder what trustworthy european provider to use anyway (that has similarly good pricing)
Personally I use Hetzner Storage Box
Same. It’s pretty cheap, comes with unlimited free traffic and is just simple to use. Supports many ways to access it, including BorgBackup.
