Thanks for sharing this. I've been interested in creating my own setup, and I was wondering if you've setup an off-prem backup solution, and what you're using for that?

I have a cron job that copies the internal drive to an (encrypted) USB drive every night, and about every 3 months I sneakernet it to an offsite location (eg my parents' house in another state) and bring back the previously-stashed drive. It's nice to know my data is in multiple places I trust, and not plugged in. I also do a lot of digital photography (~1TB/year) so it's cheaper than cloud solutions (at least last I checked)
Not yet. Currently living on the edge with a USB backup drive. I’d like to offload to Amazon Glacier but waiting for a rainy day to sort out IAM nonsense.
