If I have a home server connected to Proton Drive for example, would that be sufficient to back up my data?
minus-square@satanmat@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish10•11 months ago Would that be sufficient No. 3-2-1 Three copies; your working copy, and a cloud copy, and (as an example) on and external HD that you keep at a friend’s house…. On two separate media… so yes cloud can cover that One off site. So yeah cloud covers that. Encryption on your off site copies. Yeah I don’t care if they are Linux ISOs or your grandmas recipes. ENCRYPTED Thanks for coming to my TED talk
minus-square@thayer@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglish5•11 months agoAnd I would argue that all data should be encrypted now, even the working copy. If you have data that’s worth backing up, you probably don’t want it in the hands of criminals or weirdos either.
minus-square@satanmat@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish2•11 months agoAgreed… Yes, and… specific to backups all the encryption…. Your production stuff, yes should be as well

minus-square@satanmat@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish1•11 months agoYep. And even I did it in my post. Notice what is missing? Test your backups!
