What are your offsite backup solutions (lemmy.world)

I've been backing up to a dedicated hard disk within the same server for all my backups in case my disks fail. And as I run more and more services, the concern of disks failures grow bigger.

I'm looking for a cheapish off-site backup solution and I'm just curious what everyone does for their 3-2-1 backup solutions.

I have a 2 x 8TB in RAID1 NAS at a family members house and I also have an OVH dedicated server with 2 x 480GB in RAID1 and 2 x 8TB in RAID1. I use rclone for my backups and keep deleted files for 30 days on the NAS and 120 days on the OVH dedicated server. Both the NAS and server connect back to my home network using WireGuard.

The OVH dedicated server also runs numerous virtual machines that host websites as well as backups of my netbox and mediawiki instance I run at home(they sync nightly).

If you ever get raided by the Feds they'll probably raid your friends and family's houses too so it is generally advisable to avoid using friends and family for offsite storage.

What is the alternative?

First they'd need a reason which they won't find or have.

Secondly in my 20+ years working in IT and using the internet I've never once heard that statement about it being "generally advisable to avoid using friends and family for offsite storage". Needed a good laugh. Thanks.
