Moving stuff is slow because I don't want to just copy it all over, I want to decide what to keep in the process.
As you migrate files off the cloud to your local computer, what are you doing for backups? I'd love to self-host everything personally, but having my life's data in just one physical location is not making me feel great at all.
I too want to know about good backups
There are a couple of options. What I currently do is an.encrypted borg backup of my important files which is then synced to Dropbox and Google Drive. Currently looking for an inexpensive tape drive though to back up everything locally. Those things are flipping expensive!
