hey it's that time again.
do you have data? that you like? is it backed up? do you have automatic backups you've checked are actually happening?
in multiple locations?
have you done a test restore to make sure the backups work?
*even an extra copy on a flash drive is better than no backups*
I've been building a 3-2-1-1-0 system using a RaspberryPi and a SATA hat configured as an rclone mirror of an exFAT pair and a B2 offsite. My goal is to rotate through media every couple years making it easy enough a survivor will have the instructions of "Plug into USB adapter and any computer" or "Login to this website"
May be lacking in fancy ZRAID2, mdadm, hardware RAID mirror and tape system but I removed as many steps as possible to remove the need to get a separate technician or data recovery company involved.
