I’ve been doing a lot of 3D work and game modding on my computer for the last few years and I want to make sure that I have reliable backups of my work online somewhere in case my computer dies. Of course, I do have some physical backups as well, but I feel like I’d feel the most safe about everything if I had both a physical backup as well as a backup on the cloud. I just know I’d be devastated if anything happened to the stuff I’m working on and I want to make sure that everything is as safe as possible kirby-spin

Are there any places you would recommend? Especially since a lot of the cloud storage services I’m finding seem to be pretty expensive scared

    You probably already have thought about these but just in case. I thought about a NextCloud, quite basic

    Or a S3 Glacier, if you don’t need to access your work often. I think it doesn’t have to be on AWS, other providers offer S3 or similar services (for example French host OVH)

    It doesn’t matter what you choose, encrypt your backups before sending them over and about a month after you start do a recovery.

    It doesn’t matter if you have the most perfect locked down, zero trust, locally encrypted system for backing up to the cloud if you never made sure you were able to recover from a failure and that the information you needed was actually backed up.
