hdd shat itself, my backup consists of:
- external drive (last updated 1+ year ago)
- usb sticks (random shit from multiple years ago)
- 20 GB of cloud storage (85% full)
- ..that's it
how about you maids
a 6tb hdd that gathers dust most of the time because i'n too lazy to actually make backups regularly
mine's very sloppy tbh
anything that i consider Very Important i keep on iCloud, both as something of a backup and so i can access it on pretty much all my devices, and similarly i keep the rest of my files on a server machine (effectively a NAS i guess?) but that also doesn't have any data replication
i should probably get some shit going with raspberry pis and very big hdds at some point both to get everything on one drive and so i can implement some form of replication with separate devices, but i'm both too lazy and poor and probably stupid to do this
we continue to Live on the Edge

my backup system is bothering flash or geb to hold onto things i would otherwise forget about or lose
you guys have backups?
most my data (by weight) is stored on a literal zombie external hdd, some has Copies on the other two drives tho
not very well-designed or consistent but it's hard to have sensible backups with my files being a general mess (at least without an order of magnitude more storage so i could just lazily image shit)

Although I have an 8tb drive, that is just for storing things, not making backups of other data I have on my computer, because one drive could easily fail. I was told that it isn't secure enough to make backups on a home server. However, I do not trust online subscription-based / "cloud" backup services. Therefore, whatever is destroyed is destroyed and that is apparently the best solution.

there's also the option of the secondary backup machine at another location, parents or a friend or something

True, but it seems like the criticisms that I was told about running it myself (that it is more likely for a catastrophic failure to result in losing the data permanently, for example) to also apply in those cases. Unless they are running a massive backup service which would be kind of funny.
