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 use rclone to encrypt and send my most valuable data to OneDrive.

@sambal @kat I do the same with AWS Glacier. Rclone's crypt module is magic.

I'd prefer to not use Amazon or any of the other tech giants but nowhere else has a comparable or comparably priced equivalent to Glacier.

undefined> AWS Glacier

Going with S3 Glacier is probably the cheaper choice but 1TB for €8 with included access to the Office suite is an okay deal for me.
