    I’m more thinking about off-site backups that I don’t have to manage. All of my family are out of town and not tech savvy, so even simple things can become tedious.

    I do keep a 1:1 copy of everything from my Google Drive locally, I just like knowing that it wouldn’t be lost in a fire (along with being able to use Google Photos on-the-go). I was considering something like Backblaze but haven’t looked too much into it.

      Yep, you can have Google Drive pull down data on a PC with Backblaze installed, which will then sync to an offsite location with the entire Google Drive data.

      @[email protected] set something similar up recently IIRC

        yeah I do incremental backups and also automate Google takeouts it is quite a robust setup

          You know, maybe we should have a community for self hosting on here! There’s quite a bunch of us into it, and given the nature of Lemmy, I’m sure a lot of folks would want to get their feet wet.

            Definitely a solid idea. If you want to seed and mod, I can set it up tomorrow. Could be worth seeing if anyone from /r/selfhosted or similar are interested as well?
