How do you archive your stuff, /g/? Do you think it's safe

RAID is not a backup, but a separate file server with RAID is a backup.

That out of the way, the best system would be multiple tiers of backups, each one being more secure, but less often updated and less accessible.
Something like the following:
>Hourly incremental backups to home file server
>Weekly encrypted backup full to cloud
>Monthly BD-R incremental/full (depending on budget) backups stored offsite
>Semi-annual M-Disk full backup, stored in safe deposit box

Guaranteed no data loss. If you're extra paranoid, write everything to M-Disk, seal it in multiple layers and bury it in an ammo can.

LTO is a remedy to all backups

>>57928170
>LTO drive
>$2k

>Blu-ray drive
>$30

A 100GB M-disk is $20, that would allow for 98 backups before he even spent the price of a drive.
LTO tapes aren't expensive, but they aren't particularly hardy either.

what stuff? you mean all the pictures you save for posting on here and jap cartoon pedo porn.
You make it sound like you have important stuff

>>57928233
Yes, I save all may mays from /g/, print it and store it in sealed ammunition boxes as seen above.
Isn't it fun?

I use BackBlaze B2 for offsite backups. Cost is like 1$/200GB. ZFS on FreeNAS at home for storage.

Do you encrypt your stuff by yourself?

>>57928211
>M-disk
can I get a m-disk burner in a standard 12,7mm laptop form factor?

>>57928651
I encrypt with my GPG public key. A bash script does it for me and pushes backups every week at midnight.

>>57928672
Sure can, fuckaroo

>>57928037
I only back up my home folder, but this has everything that's important.

Backup every week to an external harddrive (encrypted) and backup that harddrive with SFTP to a DM-Crypt volume on my DO VPS.

It's a janky solution but I don't trust Crashplan and stuff like this.

Oh, I also have a 3TB external HDD with Animu and TV shows completely not backed up (living on the edge right there)

I have a fileserver at home with RAID 1 setup, and I bring an external HDD to my friend's house every week for offsite backup where it stays in his vault. Should be safe enough, unless something would happen that destroys both our houses, in which case I'd doubt any backup solution would really help.

Encrypt my stuff with military grade encryption and then upload it to Google Cloud.

>>57928510
I've been wanting to switch from a VPS to backblaze or Amazon S3 or any other cloud storage really

But I'm kinda off put by the variable pricing.

In theory it should be much cheaper than the $5/month I currently pay for the VPS, but I'm scared of doing something wrong and ending up with a $400 bill by mistake at the end of my month. With my VPS I know I pay $5 a month. Not more, not less.

>military grade encryption
Nice meme!

1. Move everything onto a server with a raid array
2. every <time|day|month|year|depends> back up to offline (external hdd)
3. every <time|day|month|year|depends> back up to a hdd and move it off site (your office | friends | family (far away))

>thread about archiving stuff for very long time
>people talking about backups

So, back to the original thing - what about data retention? Which storage medium is best?
Optical disks? Tapes?
AFAIK tapes require very stable environment - ie air conditioning

>>57928803
What is the best cipher for this case? Is asymmetric encryption secure enough here?

I don't. Just like my life, there is nothing of value to archive.

>>57929882
What about family data? Important documents?
How are you going to recover if your house burns down?

>>57929505
Ofcourse. Idk about ciphers I just use the defaults

>>57928037
>Do you think it's safe to move everything to a file server with RAID array
It's safer than keeping it all on your desktop with no redundancy at all, but it's still not safe against hardware failure that could take out the entire server or even to "normal" circumstances like bit rot (though this isn't a problem with ZFS and the proper hardware).
