3-2-1 Backup Rule in c/datahoarder@lemmy.ml

[-] npastaSyn@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Outside my depth but I'll give it a stab. Identify what data is important, (is the full 42Tb needed?). Can the data be split into easier to handle chunks?

If it is, then I personally do an initial sneakernet to get the fist set of data over. Then mirror different on a regular basis.

Only works when no one is looking at you... and when you're naked.

Can probably make a trilogy out of it... maybe even a franchise.

Does not teleport your cloths.

They can say that anyways with poll stations stuffing ballots. How is that different?

Two drives is a good thing. Always have a copy at a remote location and swap it out rather than shuttling the one drive back and forth.

rclone is a good solution. I use it myself. I also just found out about syncthing which is great for syncing with your phone to something to the local network.

Why YSK: If you have digital data that is important, (family photos, crypto keys/wallets...). Back it up and prevent permanently losing it.

3 different places its saved to, (iPhone, ICloud, laptop, Facebook, Google, Camera SD, Flash drive...).

2 different media, I would consider iPhone and iCloud the same. Buying two External Drives of the same type and brand too. Why? Consider losing your Apple account or the drive model fails in a year.

1 off site copy. If all your copies are in your house, a flood, fire, tornado, hurricane, EMP... would lose every thing.

0 time to waste. (My own personal add). Do it now. Procrastination is dangerous and is the biggest regret for when things go sideways.

Something i haven't seen posted here yet, but worth say over and over again.

Murphy's law says that anything that can go wrong will go wrong… but with the 3-2-1 strategy in place, your data always survives.
