@ironicbadger@techhub.social For photos:
* Local filesystem
* iCloud Photos
• Backblaze
• Synology that’s the _actual_ source of record
• Synology at my folks’ house 50 miles away gets a Synology backup over Tailscale nightly
• External drive that gets a rsync every two weeks and is stored on the opposite side of the house
• External drive that lives at my folks’ and I update any time I’m there (also made possible by Tailscale)
• Redundant copy (same account, different computer) at Backblaze

@ironicbadger@techhub.social (I concede this is utterly bananas, and most data isn’t THIS redundant. But I nearly lost my Synology array early in 2020, and I swore NEVER AGAIN. That led to this nuttiness.)

@caseyliss@mastodon.social are you sure this is enough copies? It’s the 3-2-1 rule not the 321 copies rule 😃
