For now my server doesn’t have very important data most of it are your “Linux isos” I can just download again and I’m thinking of starting to move my file and photos to the server but in afraid. What if I get a ransomwarei don’t realize and all my backups get encrypted too? Or if the backups are corrupted and my disks breaks? But also I’m afraid about cloud because I’ve seen some posts about people getting their google accounts closed without notice for breaking TOS (maybe they did something wrong maybe not).
I have my important data stored on a RAID1 for some redundancy, but otherwise it’s just snapshotted to an external drive plugged into my server. It’s not ideal and I have two plans I really need to get around to implementing.
I have a detatched garage so I am going to set up another machine hidden in the roof space of the garage where I can have “offsite” backups. It won’t get found if my house is being burgled (you need a ladder) and it’s far enough away that it hopefully survives if my house burns down. My garage already has ethernet cable.
Another option would be storing some stuff at a friends place if you have friends that self host. I’ve also been meaning on setting a Wireshark tunnel to a friends server and we can borrow a little bit of each others space.
