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?
I’m planning on doing this, but every 6mo not 1w lol. My upload speed is abysmal as well and I only have absolutely critical things uploaded to off site storage, then I have a full backup locally and physically disconnect it until next backup (to guard against ransomware); am about to get a 20TB drive for this ‘catastrophic event’ backup plan, stored at the bank, just undecided which drive manufacturer to go with.
I figure if the house explodes or something, max 6mo data loss is acceptable vs almost all data loss. And avoids this bandwidth issue.
