Backup

Backup

I don’t worry much about losing files, because most of my data is stored in multiple cloud services, as well as on local hard drives.

Nevertheless, I plan on implementing a NAS backup system in the future.

The 3-2-1 strategy:

3 Copies of all my data
2 Copies on different storage media (e.g. HDD, SSD, Cloud)
1 Offsite copy

Storage

Local

Currently I have multiple Hard-Drives flying around, carrying duplicates of my data in case one of them breaks. In the long term I plan on implementing a Network Attached Storage.

Hierarchy

backup-disk/ ├── books/ │ ├── bootstrap.css │ └── bootstrap-theme.min.css ├── games/ ├── photos/ ├── movies/ └── videos/

Cloud

• iCloud
• Google Drive
• Dropbox
• OneDrive
• Mega

I use all of these services to diversify the locations of my data. This way, one provider can go down, but there will likely still be another one available.
