1. Daily: rsync snapshots to disk attached to Raspberry Pi (similar to rsnapshot)
2. Periodically: duplicity to Oracle archive storage (7x cheaper than AWS Glacier - $0.001)

Re: Ask HN: What's your backup solution?
#121. I have a synology which acts as central store for everything.
2. Everything on synology (except for videos) gets backed up to crashplan.
3. Once every few months I backup synology to my 5TB external drive.
I hate to loose any file even if its not important :) I still have files from the floppy disk era.
Re: Ask HN: What's your backup solution?
#13All of my machines get backed up to my Synology NAS. The NAS then syncs all the backups out to Amazon Drive. It's not "real" offsite backup, but it's good enough for what I'm doing. In addition, the NAS also syncs music, video, and images out to Amazon Drive separately so that we can view our media from anywhere without depending on our home internet connection.

#14I'm in the process of setting up a system. Anyone using Amazon Drive unlimited storage?

I'd like to keep my laptop files backed up automatically.
Re: Ask HN: What's your backup solution?
#15I'd probably be what you'd call a digital nomad. I keep a Time Machine backup on a ruggedized external drive, and I use Backblaze. I've been very happy with Backblaze, if that's what you're asking about. Additionally, Google Drive and another external USB flash drive for a couple sensitive documents.
I don't work.

#16Bup. https://github.com/bup/bup
Git + bloom filters + Python
I backup hundreds of thousands of user accounts at cloud.sagemath.com using it, plus my own data, etc. I've been using it for four years and haven't found anything better for my requirements.

#17Github for my contracts.
My music collection sits on a server hooked up to my stereo. I had the disks in RAID-Z1, but when one of the disks pulled a Seagate I accidentally made the disks striped vedvs. To back this up, I boot up a rackmount server with larger disks in RAID-Z1 and use rsync.
This is the only data that I really care about preserving. I found this out through changing my operating system a lot and having my laptop stolen.
