I've been putting off a really serious data issue for quite a while and it's finally come back to bite me, I lost a lot of video and it's been a nightmare tr...
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.
So far I've dealt with this problem by having a separate drive _just_ for large binary data files like video. BTRFS with a subvolume for each category. Probably not perfect but at the moment it's all re-downloadable if it comes to that. Will take this warning to enable backups.
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
