I generally do this on my NAS, combined with nightly and bi-weekly backups, plus a 6-mo safety backup, to a backup drive. Also, basic off-site nightly backups for important stuff. If I worked on really important stuff that required lots of versioning, though, I’d probably go with a versioning system instead of inserting the date.
Who handles the live replication and offsite storage rotations for your quantum encrypted multi site redundant back up system?
I kid (because your excellent practices put mine to absolute shame). Thanks for the reminder to get serious about backups!
