    I couldn’t sleep at night if I didn’t have my data backed up in 6 different places. I spent way too many years as a sysadmin to deal with 2 backups.

    ZFS mirrors on my Proxmox server with multiple nodes replicating to each other. Replications of those datasets to zfs.rent. Proxmox backup server taking hourly snapshots and doing it to multiple drives. Rotating USB drives on that PBS server. Backups of the data for each VM and each docker container stack via rsync. Borg backup. Multiple Nextcloud clients with each having their file syncs held locally, then rsynced to a secondary drive.

    I could probably come up with a couple more that I’ve forgotten I have running. I got burned once and it made me mad.
