How do you backup important things you store in selfhosted clouds?
I’m currently thinking about hosting Ente myself for syncing all my pictures. Maybe also spinning up nextcloud for various other shared files. However, for me one main benefit of using services like iCloud is the mitigated risk of losing everything in case the hardware fails (and fire, theft, water-damages, …).
Do you keep regular updates on hosted services? Do you keep really important stuff on other providers? Do you have other failsafes?
Personally, I’m planning additional physical storage of photos off site. Not yet configured but planning for a subset of photos deemed too important to lose to be automatically printed and stored on physical media (DVDs).
In general I’m hoping it to promote a more careful approach to what media really is important to keep.
