What's a good backup solution? And I mean a REALLY good

but i have to add, i think i lost files with git too. Searching the history is a pain in the ass, you basically have to grep a million times with tons of arcane cmds you need to learn first
git is not exactly user friendly, i always have some weird problem where i git add . and then commit and i do that on every change and then a few weeks later suddenly i have multiple files in the repo that i actually once had deleted but they somehow showed up again.
regarding the losing of files: I dont know how it happened, I was SURE that i had a repo and made a commit with those changes but then when i looked for those files a year or two later, it was never there. I have no clue. I suppose it's most likely user error but it doesnt really matter to me why it got fucked, it was my ass

Just buy an external HDD and copy your stuff there.

nah that still sucks, i have some external hdds and they get botchy and error out sometimes, and i never keep them properly up to date because i have to constantly plug them in and out (they make sound too u know) and it's not really a great backup if it's in the same apartement / computer and can vanish / get stolen / hit by lightning at the same time.
also now that i think about it, worst suggestion ever. i have to manually copy that stuff, no partial syncing? no thanks

>literally using botnet
just attach a small flash drive to you keychain if you want portable storage

HDDs have an average lifespan of about 5 years when plugged in 24/7, it should last longer without errors if you only turn it on occasionally.

If you're so lazy you don't want to manually backup your own files or search for a program that automates it, then go ahead and keep getting ripped off for shitty botnet storage.

Local NAS

Doesn't mega offer 50 free gigs? I'd try that out.

>>57704528
MEGA has a free 50GBs. If you're looking for a backup "tool" then I'd take a look at either https://syncthing.net/ with a master folder or http://www.duplicati.com/ and picking up a few extra hard drives.

Obviously a backup to your own NAS box.

Dont really care if you do it with a storage cloud, bacula, rsync or syncthing or something else. But its the cheapest fast solution where you know what happens with your data and can re-check it well at the intervals you choose.

Okay, if you think operating git is difficult, perhaps buy a typical NAS. They usually got backup software for end users like you included. Less will go wrong that way.

Mega is great security-wise, but Degoo has 100GB free. Why not use both?

>he fell for the cloud meme
Veeam Backup & Replication with a Starwind Virtual SAN Virtual Tape Library stored on external hard disks. That way you can have onsite and offsite backups. Its what im doing to back up my RAIDs at home.

FreeFileSync + encrypted drive (Bitlocker, HFS, true/veracrypt, whatever).

I set it up once, hit a button and the backup is done. literally takes less than a minute per week unless I changed really a lot
