Those who keep another copy of their hard drive (or whatever other backup source) offsite, where is that? Your mommas house? A storage locker facility? At work?

    You can almost imagine the look of shock and awe when my retired parents had the nerdy neighbor kid over to look at their computer (was having internet issues) and he stumbled upon 30,000 movie rips, probably 8,000 TV series, complete rom/iso sets from Atari 2600 to PS2…

    Backblaze + parents basement with multiple externals. I also use one drive for files I want to access remotely and backing up photos during vacation if I have access to decent internet.

    Well, I have cloud backup for my important files (Google and Onedrive) and the “less important” stuff (another 40tb or so) is sitting in a storage locker at a storage unit place nearby me.

    I don’t do backups of a lot. The important stuff that has like, an actual backup, has 2 copies off site. One at my work, one at my wife’s work. Just a regular LTO tape. The vast majority of what I store, is not something I consider important enough to backup as it’s stuff like, dvds and blurays I’ve ripped and still have and thus could get out of storage and rip again should that need arise. I do however donoff site replication. 3 replica ceph pool where one copy has to be off site. There’s again one node at my work and one at my wife’s work, plus ofc the local cluster which for drive constraints in the work nodes, always has two of the replicas. Might add a second node at my work but while we both get to place the servers there, I still pay for power, and wife for power and connection. With power prices these days, it gets kind of expensive.

    LTO tape in a locked drawer at work, I only backup important non-replaceable things like the email server and personal documents/photos.

    My dream setup is two NAS servers, one at my desk, another at my parents house 2000 miles away sitting at the bottom shelf of my mom’s desk.

    Safe deposit box, 8TB external drive with encrypted backups of my NAS. Have the same drive locally too and swap them monthly. Current year and prior year folders also get cloud backed up to backblaze.

    Mom’s house. Old pc with a bunch of big usb drives on a high shelf in her basement. Open vpn point to point vpn set up so she can use my nfs and I can send backups.
