@cwebber automatic, continuous, encrypted and in two locations. i'm a bit paranoid about it lol. so i guess my answer would be "constantly".
@cwebber Every night. Local snapshots, copied to a remote machine.
(Yes, I'm insufferable, I know. But I learned that lesson 25 years ago).
@cwebber I had to get a drive forensically recovered a decade or so ago and learned my lesson the hard way. restic for the win!
@cwebber Today. 5 minutes ago.
@cwebber "of what" is the question that pops up for me.
We have SyncThing for work-files (so every machine serves as a backup for a lot of stuff), but backups of external servers have fallen by the wayside as I try to work out systems to make that back into something I can actually keep up with...
@cwebber this month! right after a crash! 🙃
@cwebber if i was honest for my entire life i have never done that
@cwebber today at 0734
@cwebber another option should be "what is a backup"
@cwebber my employer has decided to trust Microsoft on that. Not my problem.
@cwebber I never do, backups are a chore, but I sync my data all the time, which is what matters to me.
@cwebber daily for most critical things otherwise weekly and always using the 3-2-1 rule.
