How do you backup important things you store in selfhosted clouds?
I’m currently thinking about hosting Ente myself for syncing all my pictures. Maybe also spinning up nextcloud for various other shared files. However, for me one main benefit of using services like iCloud is the mitigated risk of losing everything in case the hardware fails (and fire, theft, water-damages, …).
Do you keep regular updates on hosted services? Do you keep really important stuff on other providers? Do you have other failsafes?
I use Backblaze personal/unlimited, and have for quite a while. A lot of the other storage options go by GB/price which is fine, but I have a ton of stuff that is irreplaceable such as my music collection of around 80k songs I converted out to flac, pictures, business docs, etc. I realize it’s not really in the selfhosted arena, but Backblaze works out for me. If you are backing up a lot of data, re-initializing multiple TB backups can be a chore. Backblaze has a program where you buy a 10 TB drive from them, they ship you your data, once transferred you can send the drive back for a full refund.
