3-2-1 Backup Rule in c/[email protected]

What’s the best way to make an offsite backup for 42tb at this point with 20mbps of bandwidth? It would take over 6 months to upload while maxing out my connection.

Maybe I could sneakernet an initial backup then incrementally replicate?

If you have a secure password Vaultwarden’s encryption will keep you safe until it’s broken by faster computers in the future or whatever.

For back up storage I only plan to plug in occasionally is a SSD or HDD portable drive better for long term unpowered storage without data loss? in c/[email protected]

SSDs have a write lifespan. Once you write ~400TB or whatever it’s rated for on a consumer SSD it dies. HDDs can take a lot more writes before dying.

best NAS setup for softwarr stack and 8tb around $300? in c/[email protected]

Do you have an old computer that you can use as a server? If not, you could look for one used. Then get an 8TB disk and maybe a second one for backup if you want to store anything you can’t redownload.

some kind of api aggregator could probably work but i don’t think there is one yet
