A word of caution for anyone planning to use syncthing for backups.

Syncthing is designed as a sync solution but not explicitly for backups. You need some extra setup on top of the defaults for building a reliable backup solution.

If not setup correctly, any "mistakes" from one of the devices will automatically be synced to other devices and cannot be retrieved back.

In the case of a lost/stolen device, make sure you remove the device as soon as possible. If not a bad actor now possessing the device can delete and sync that back to your "back-up" devices too.

Yeah, no, easier to block the telemetry domain than deal with such a huge risk of losing everything
