What is your backup solution?

[.EteRnal.]

I'm currently following the 3-2-1 rule. Kind of... I have two WD Red 1 TB drives formatted with ReFS and setup with Storage Spaces. My off site backup is essentially the Cloud for the important stuff. Curious to hear what kinda setup you guys have for backups.

Passwords are on Lastpass.
My OS is cloned and updated so I can restore any time I want to an updated and perfectly configured OS.
I purposely have my stuff saved to drives/partitions OFF my local drive so when I restore it doesn't get wiped.
Other than that I got a bunch of stuff stored locally that isn't backed up at all but easily detached/re-attached to my PC for isolation purposes.

i have two 6tb drives with full back ups of everything

only because i have accidentally erased a back up in the past

i only connect them when i am adding to them

i also have several smaller drives that have portions of what are on those

[d3str0y3r]

3 of drives on my pc are using RAID 5 that auto back up to my 36TB unraid NAS, and that backups up to an offsite server using RAID 5.

I don't have any offsite backups, but I do got 2 identical 1tb external HDD's for stuff I couldn't really do without or can't really get again, I had a server but it died and took out a 8TB drive I had so I got a 12TB with the same backup on my computer thats encrypted, its also got every one of my steam games, Origin games, Epic games on it as well as I use to live in a area with stupid slow internet and it was faster to restore a backup and just update it. Took me almost a week to download GTA5 on that garbage lol.

I really do need to think about an offsite backup but I just hate cloud storage, i've been burned more than once by it

I have USB HDDs lying around, but for backups, I usually use the SATA dock.

I usually forget to put them in the fireproof lockbox, though.

I tend to back up the Firefox and Thunderbird profile folders, and use Keepass2. Though obviously, I don't keep the keepass archive and key file on the same device.

Has Lastpass cleaned up its act already?

For passwords, I put them on Notepad and store them offline. I use the password generator of
1Password.

Yeah, I'm wondering the same thing I personally jumped ship to Bitwarden.

If you are going ti follow the rules regarding 3 backups of the same data then do this.

First off F the Cloud. It's not reliable and it could be stolen at any time by anyone.

Have a drive in your system with the data, have that data on a backup HDD then put into a fire proof safe. And then another HDD copy of that data maybe in a safe-deposit box at the bank or something similar. If the later part of this is not possible then have this 3rd hdd in a fireproof safe at some trusted off-site location.

If the data is important it should never get backed up onto ANY Online source of any kind, period.

Unfortunately, you could have the best security and backup plans under the sun but if the companies you do business with get hit w/something like a hack or ransomware (or both), it doesn't matter unless the hackers find you personally thru the data that was leaked.

My bank was recently hit by the cl0p ransomware operators who did not hack the bank directly but exploited a vulnerability in a file sharing service that leaked my Visa card details.

Luckily the matter resolved in a short time with no damage. But I am aware my security measures played no role in that whatsoever.

I have the files on two computers and two external HDD's.

It's not much but hardly any of my stuff dies... well not in the last 15 years, i think i sell stuff before it gets too old.

I use BItwarden ( paid version, who can't afford $10 a yr for a great program ? ) after unpleasant experiences with Lastpass, as for backups I use TerabyteUnlimited for imaging (and a boot manager) onto multiple external HD's

[Pocahawtness]

I have a NAS.

Same but HDD's do tend to have a limited life, I try to replace my back HDD drives once every 5 - 6 ish years to be on the safe side, I've have HDD fail slowly, I've also had some fail randomly and never came back to life.

Hmmm, I'm not sure honestly. I mainly use it for convenience. If they have been in the news lately for something I haven't noticed. They might be the worst of the bunch security wise but I just got really used to it.

You haven't? It was all over the place, even into mainstream media.
