7 months agoThe common wisdom about backups is the 3-2-1 backup strategy, which recommends:
- 3 total copies of your data, including your original or “production” data
- 2 different forms of media
- 1 off-site copy
Proton Drive can be a decent off-site backup, but it would be a good idea to make a separate backup of your data on a different form of media like an external hard drive, just in case Proton Drive goes down, or the data there gets corrupted and you need to restore a known good version.
“Host” fucked me up and is the reason I don’t watch horror movies anymore. I’m a huge baby though.
