Anything important I keep in my Dropbox folder, so then I have a copy on my desktop, laptop, and in the cloud.

When I turn off my desktop, I use restic to backup my Dropbox folder to a local external hard drive, and then restic runs again to back up to Wasabi which is a storage service like amazon’s S3.

Same exact process for when I turn off my laptop… except sometimes I don’t have my laptop external hd plugged in so that gets skipped.

So that’s three local copies, two local backups, and two remote backup storage locations. Not bad.

Changes I might make:

• add another remote location
• rotate local physical backup device somewhere (that seems like a lot of work)
• move to next cloud or seafile instead of Dropbox

I used seafile for a long time but I couldn’t keep it up so I switched to Dropbox.

Advice, thoughts welcome.

This is just one of the weirder comments I’ve read, like what did I just read here. Lol

Nah, still a great solution if you like. That was my solution for years until just about a month ago I switched to bitwarden because it seemed easier to protect with a yubikey. I’ve liked it so far.

I took the opportunity to export all my passwords from Firefox, chrome, and KeePass, then spent about a day cleaning the whole mess up and removing duplicates, THEN imported the csv into bitwarden. Still getting used to not using chrome/Firefox for auto filling and storing passwords, but I like that my passwords don’t feel so spread out across multiple browsers/dbs.

This is great watching the drama from my new “home” here on kbin. I’m so happy that you all are here too, giving me tons to read.

Terminal is even more impressive if used in full screen
