What's your backup strategy? (feddit.nl)

I see many posts asking about what other lemmings are hosting, but I'm curious about your backups.

I'm using duplicity myself, but I'm considering switching to borgbackup when 2.0 is stable. I've had some problems with duplicity. Mainly the initial sync took incredibly long and once a few directories got corrupted (could not get decrypted by gpg anymore).

I run a daily incremental backup and send the encrypted diffs to a cloud storage box. I also use SyncThing to share some files between my phone and other devices, so those get picked up by duplicity on those devices.

i backup locally to a second NAS (daily)

i use rclone crypt to backup to the cloud (hetzner storage box, weekly)

the most important stuff i also backup to an external harddisk (from time to time, whenever i'm in the mood / have some spare time)

You basically described my backup strategy, although I do the Hetzner box daily too (on 1gbit synchronous fiber, so why not)

if i had a better upload connection than my current 10MBit i would also do it daily :D
