Couple days ago, I posted about my experience setting up a NAS and how it’s changed the way I manage my data. I’ve got some really great feedback that’s made me think about things I hadn’t considered before. One comment really stood out: “Don’t put all your eggs in one NASket.”While I thought I was covered with RAID 5 for automatic backups, I never considered the risks like fire, hardware failure, or the need for off-site backups. Someone even shared a story about how their in-laws' house burned down last year, and it really hit home for me. That experience was a wake-up call for them, realizing they weren’t doing enough for off-site backups, even though they had everything stored across multiple drives.So I’m looking for proper backup recommendations. How do you handle off-site backups? How do you protect against hardware failure or other disasters? I’d love to hear what strategies or tools you’re using to back up your data safely!
