Recently I have decided that the backup solution I have been using is far too complex for my family to figure out when I die. I began writing documentation on how they can access photos, videos, documents and so on. In that process I thought, I gotta make this simple.
I’m thinking of just having two 10TB drives in RAID 1 on my desktop that get backed up to Backblaze via restic. Backblaze and similar cloud storage providers can send you a copy of your data for recovery. I think I can sufficiently document this process.
Has anyone else come up with a similar process?
Me too, we ended up disposing of huge boxes of photos, kind of a shame but we didn’t know the people in them, and they weren’t historically interesting or anything. Kind of a shame, if preserving all photos could be automated there would probably be really interesting info for researchers down the line in some way.
