I have about 8TB of storage that is currently only replicated through a raid array. I occasionally sync that to another USB drive and leave that in a fireproof safe (same location).
I’d really like to do an offsite backup, but I only have 10Mbps upload. We are literally talking months to do a full backup.
How do others handle situations like this?
Another alternative is to setup a backup server at a willing friend/family members house so that you can physically take the drive and just upload any new changes later.
Or, pick up 2 backup drives, keep one at a friend/relative’s house, then just swap them every time you visit.
I keep a drive at my parent’s house in case of emergencies. Backup frequency is essentially every few months, but I also have the local portable drive with real-time sync I can snag on my way out.
