Yes… Off site… Totally not on a different computer in the same room… 👀

I’ve helped my parents with a NAS for there Fotos, so they don’t lose them.

I also included a extra drive, and set up a reverse proxy to our home.

I‘m pushing important stuff to Backblaze which is comparatively cheap. If I ever need to restore a full backup, it’s gonna take forever though.

Rclone to hetzner storage box

I’m using Hetzner too, only via sync from proxmox backup server instead of rclone.

Rsync of my Borg backup repositories to one raspberry pi in my parents’ house.

I use borgmatic with a dedicated non-US backup service. Borg isn’t ideal, sometimes three locks get stuck, and it’s anything you can only mount it via FUSE, but it works reliably. I hear the more modern solutions are better, but I don’t want to deal with migrating.

Then I have secondary regular cloud file storage (non-US) that has a write only storage mechanism. I only write encrypted files there, so data is encrypted at rest and in transit.

On macOS I run a custom launch agent script to run borgmatuc hourly, on Linux I use nix+systemd.

I also have a NAS in my basement.
