Funny that you went though that, I just lost 3 of my drives on my main system a DAY befire my backup drive arrived.

I use a cronjob that sends my /home to my NAS every 3 hours which then the NAS every 12 hours sends to my back NAS, which once every 24 hours sends my critical data offsite to a remote encrypted borg repository in Sweden, which also has it's own backup.

Normal people: oh no, data loss
Youtubers: aarrgh but woo, bonus video idea, and a cautionary tale too.

Great video, including the parts about:

* not just needing enough space to hold your data, but the benefit of having a spare drive around to have room to shuffle things around when you can't just pick up a new one same day

* the knock on effects on your pending workloads

do you know what the best backup tool is? I tried timeshift, pika and a bunch others and I can't find a good one, akin to windows system image disk.
