Same exact scenario here. Hmm

Do you try to protect your onsite backup from fire? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

[–] xylene@sh.itjust.works 32 points 11 months ago

I don't bother.

A fire (or flood or theft or...?) threat might take out both of my local copies. To offset that risk, I put a lot of effort into making sure the offsite copy is always functional, up-to-date, and healthy (S.M.A.R.T and otherwise).

I've been considering keeping a fourth copy of extra extremely crucial data encrypted on Backblaze B2, but honestly...if I lose my whole 3-2-1 stack, it's probably time to go live as a goat.

I have had quite a battle with/trying to avoid Remarkable's cloud service with both my RM1 and RM2. It is very deeply linked, and their privacy policy isn't the best.

This might not be applicable if you're only going to use it as an ereader, but I want to keep sensitive documents on mine and it has not been easy. I currently use this script, but it's a clunky experience.

Unbelievably good piece of hardware though!

I have a current gen Outback, and I have all the issues!

Admittedly, it very reliably goes down the road when I'm towing it with my truck.

I think a Niche Zero and a Profitec GO would be an outstanding bang-for-buck combo!
